The Lamp Oil (Wade)

What happens when a religious leader admits he's been wrong about a fundamental biblical teaching for 45 years? This thought-provoking discussion challenges listeners to examine their own theological assumptions, particularly around the parable of the ten virgins. Rather than viewing this story as a future rapture event, could it actually be about our present responsibility as believers?

The central question emerges: Are we waiting for something to happen, or are we already part of an ongoing spiritual procession that requires active participation? How do we maintain our spiritual "oil" through fellowship, service, and pouring ourselves into others' lives?

This perspective suggests that spiritual preparedness isn't about anticipating a dramatic future event, but about recognizing that the bridegroom has already arrived and we have a responsibility to shine our light now.
