An Update on the Second Coming

From all the buzz going around today, it is apparent that Harold Camping may have been on the right track after all, people.  For you real inspired Bible Scholars (oxymoron?!? I hope not!!) the prediction in Mark 13:14 may refer to the August 3rd (or August 2nd) deadline for U.S. Debt Ceiling relief.  This would of course correspond to Amos 2:4 when read in light of Ezekiel 33:25--manifesting, of course, fulfillment of the complaint in Genesis 4:13!  So there is NO WAY that Jesus won't be back on August 3rd (or August 2nd)!  Oh, and don't forget to factor in Genesis 26:30-31 (in case things get solved without Jesus' return).  Anyway, I hope all parties can go away understanding each other (Genesis 27:11) whether or not Jesus gets directly involved.  So there.

Hurry Up and Wait?

The church has an open door!  We are called to be a Kingdom of God community that operates in the public interest. It is vital, therefore, that we continually organize ourselves for mission at the same time that we carry out the mission.  We have no desire to sit out the game while we think about how to play.  Summer is moving on, opportunities are passing by.  What are we waiting for? The next rapture?
