ALBANY, GA -- The story you voted on was "How do believers cope with doomsday predictions that fail?"

Senior minister of Albany Christian Church, Jason Burchfield says it's hard to relate to that type of person since they are putting their faith in a person instead of Christ.

But believes that if you can sell someone on the trueness of Christ and what we're here for, it is possible for those people to have faith again.

“In acts chapter one, he tells the disciples that are gazing up at the stars, waiting for the second coming of Christ, the angels say, what are you staring at? Go about your mission, go about doing your work, go about doing your job. Stop waiting for the second coming of Christ, prepare for it,” says Burchfield.

89-year-old California pastor Harold Camping had predicted the rapture would occur two days ago--May 21st.
