Rapture: Reward or Reproof?

Some have questioned how the New Testament church could be rewarded with the rapture when the church, as a whole, is visibly in such disrepair. The greater possibility is that the church will be removed prior to the tribulation because of its inadequacy in reaching the Jewish people for Christ in Daniel's seventieth week. Perhaps we should view it, not as a reward, but as a testimony against the church’s overall usefulness.
