Any good discussion?

It's hard for me to read and post about Hebrews by myself. Is there any good discussion coming out of the Monday night meetings that I can join in on?

Thanks :)

Reading for this Week Hebrews 1-2

What are y'all studying this week?

Are you still reading "Re-imagining Evangelism?" How many chapters/weeks are left (so I know whether to buy the kindle version for $10). Are you moving into a book in the Bible? Another book?

Let me know so I can shed words of wisdom on the blog! :D

Boldness

I've really been encouraged by meditating on Acts 4 (The boldness prayer), this week.

I came across boldness this week in these texts as well:
2 Cor 3:12
2 Cor 7:3-9
Prov 28:1

The Rose

This is the first link I found about what Brynn and Philip were talking about tonight:

Does God Create Evil?

This is an interview that I believe helps a lot with the question of evil in this world. Its an NPR Interview after the tsunami that hit Asia a few years ago. Pretty applicable to the Haiti crisis today.

John Piper NPR Tsunami Interview

I form light and create darkness,

I make well-being and create calamity,

I am the Lord, who does all these things. Isaiah 45:7

Temple Mount

Here is some more information. It's about the Temple Mount where the dome of the rock was established:

This week: Daniel 7-9

Got prophecy?

Pride Can Turn you into a Hippie

Pride will take you a lot of places but I never thought it would turn a king into a grass eating hippie like King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4. Even after God tells Nebuchadnezzar in his dream and through Daniel to repent, he boasts about "his mighty power" (Dan 4:30).

You know, we are created to be mighty and powerful. God gives us dominion (Gen 1:28). He gives us strength (Ps 18:39, Ps 28:8). But, we aren't to be found admiring the beauty of what we have done. Rather, we are to be prideful and boastful of what God has done through us(2 Cor 12:9-10)!

God does teach Nebuchadnezzar that: the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will (Dan 4:32). He probably learned it a little better then me since I never was much of a hippie.

This week: Daniel 4-6

We're reading Daniel 4-6 this week.
