Contributed on Apr 28, 2010
The seals show the suffering of the world which believers must endure, even if it means martyrdom, but they are precursors to hope.

I say, yes it is. One interpretation does not necessarily negate another. Rather, like much ...read more

The Lamb Who Was Slain
Contributed on Apr 19, 2010
The scandal of Christ is embodied in Revelation 5. He is God, Equal to Him in every way and worshiped by all.

The Resurrection Overcomes Suffering
Contributed on Apr 7, 2010
Jesus' resurrection does not erase suffering or its effects, but it does overcome our suffering. He engages in all the friendly actions necessary to bring about healing and hope.
Dawn and I talk while we're driving quite often. Sometimes these turn into our best conversations. We've hashed out many of the world's worst problems in those talks. Talking during travel is one of the world's oldest past times. The Canturbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is a record of a chat ...read more
