The concept behind the name of this online community (Perhaps Today) stems from a long history in Christianity. In this lesson, author and speaker Daniel T. Adams takes an expedition into God's Word in order to explore such a concept and explain why this name was chosen for this site.
Perhaps Today is focused on the end result of life, not just the journey of the life itself. Much like a woman who is pregnant with child, there are many signs in this life - or childbirth pains - that serve as reminders of the hope that we have in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible promises that Jesus will return one day to call home to himself, all those who have put their faith and trust in him. That moment of being caught up in the air with the Lord, to be glorified with the Lord in a bodily resurrection, and to meet with God, is the moment and culmination of all the childbirth pains of life giving way to the inexpressible and glorious joy that awaits those who call upon the name of the Lord (1 Peter 1:8 NIV). The example of a pregnant woman, with all the severe pains of childbirth, are overcome by the joy that is found when holding one's newborn baby.
