]]> Comment on Secret Codes by Stephen Jackson http://www.blogwoods.net/?p=79&cpage=1#comment-768 Stephen Jackson Thu, 08 Oct 2009 02:25:34 +0000 http://www.blogwoods.net/?p=79#comment-768 Skipper, I have been fascinated by the Revelation of St. John the Divine since I was a child and have spent a lot of time reading and trying to understand it. It is important to remember that the term revelation is what an Apocalypse is. Apocalypse does not mean the end of the world at all, as so many suppose. I have formed the opinion that the very graphic and terrifying descriptions of the Seven Seals is tied to an ancient oral history of a real event in the distant past. One could not imagine a better description of a comet impact on the Earth, but only in recent years to we understand what this would look like. It would look exactly like the description given us here. right down to the Sun as black as sack cloth and the Moon appearing as blood, flaming mountains falling into the sea, hail of fire. It is perfect. Just something to ponder. With best regards and due respect.

I quit! :) Nah, but a couple days ago, Aaron and I were trying to guess what percentage of my friends who went to Bible college are still in full-time ministry. First, we guessed that most of the ladies married pastors (not a role to be taken lightly)... then we made the following assumptions on guys that went to Bible college with us. We think: - 3 out of 4 graduates went into full-time ministry (church or parachurch) - 1 out of 4 graduates are still in full-time ministry just 10 years after starting In my relatively close circle of 10 college friends (guys and girls), I can only think of myself and then one girl who is involved in a parachurch organization.

I remember [bible]Proverbs 30.7-9[/bible], and I don't want to fall into that trap. Some people refer to money as a good thing, i.e. "God has really blessed me".
