I have to figure out a way to make long posts in such a way
that the end-reader can decide to read the thing. It?s almost an epidemic in
the Believer?s Blogosphere to write long theological posts (which many actually
read, praise the Lord!) And yet, I want to figure offer a way to make it a bit
more interactive with study as a goal.

With this goal, I?ll post a short concept or thought on what
I?m studying and then post an actual article about the short summary.

Thus the short of it is this: persecution and suffering in
the Scriptures, particularly the New Testament, is put in a good light. Why and
is there any connection with the Old Testament in this regard?

Sorry, I had to drop this quick note when I saw this. Bloggers were complaining saying it wasn’t real, Macusers were in an uproar that this was yet another PC’er hoax. PC users laughed saying that Apple will never make a dent in the PC market as they blogged smugly about their superiority.

All ye naysayers: Welcome the Mini Mac to your home.

Oh yeah, also a new Ipod for 99 beans.

I just realized something from reading several
more
anti-dispensationalist essays: these guys do not get it. "Completely
disrespectin' what we're sayin', man!" Now mind you, I am simply
commenting on what I've
noticed.

Some of the wackiness I've seen dispensationalists accused
of:

Two different ways to be saved (Friends, we, like you, know that we're saved by grace alone
through faith effective by what Christ did on the cross. Salvation is by no other.)

Not preaching to Jews (Strange being that my uncle is a Jew
who is saved by means of dispensationalists preaching to him.)

Followers of LaHaye (Please accuse dispensationalists of
following Ryrie, or Walvoord or Pentacost or Darby even but not LaHaye or Jenkins or
their fictional writing.)

Prone to antinomianism (Paul's letter to the Romans pre-empts this question which is bound to arise in any
believer who knows that he has been saved from the penalty of the Law. "Shall
we now sin so that grace may abound?" Thank God that Paul immediately answers
that thought with a "God forbid". That's right, dispensationalists don't like that kind of wanton living either.)

Ah well, we all look through a glass darkly and one day we'll
be in the presence of the Lord chuckling over the fact that none of us really
got it right. Praise be to God that we're not qualified for His presence by our
understanding of what He has done or how He works?but by what He has done on
the cross of calvary.

Just in time for another peak into the World of ADD and see
what I've been seeing.

Cool site from this studious brother and father. Great
design and all his posts are seasoned with the salt I've mentioned before. He
disagrees with dispensationalist (haven't seen why yet) but I look forward to
his disagreement. If anything it will be done with kindness and wisdom. 

Hey, I don't agree with a post-tribulation rapture either
but here's a research center in support of the idea.

Does the fact that I reach out to believers who adhere to
very different eschatological, hermeneutical and interpretive models make me a
neo (progressive) dispensationalist? Who knows, but you can read and find out.

If not that type of dispensationalist what type am I? Makes
me wonder which one Shane is going to disagree with. Good luck with the
research, Brother! The rest of you can start here. 

Curt re-dispensed this knowledge towards me, so I thought I'd
leave it here for you to use responsibly.

So yeah, this is beautiful and I think I'm going to have to dispense
with my current architecture and rebuild it as css only. 

Geek link dosage, if you haven't had enough already: Who
wants to buy a castle? I do.

Brothers and Sisters of the Christian Blogosphere, take heed
of your written words. You and I have both seen professing believers, viciously
snapping at each other in defense of a doctrine or perspective. There are some
brothers and sisters out there with tremendous care and wisdom who have offered
open letters to which I have linked to in various places yet it is a message
that bears repeating: Don't attack your brother for whom Christ died!
