I read this passage from the Bible yesterday:

There will even come a time when anyone who kills you will think he's doing God a favor. They will do these things because they never really understood the Father. (John 16:2b-3, MSG)

And I started thinking, that is so true in our world today, when I see on the news the so-called insurgents that chanted "God is great" after killing people, or when there are recruitments for the so-called "Army of God." Jesus really is a contemporary, isn't he?

Just found out today that the Bible game I'm planning has been cut down to 50 minutes. I was planning for a 90-minute game. Sigh... I was trying to decide which games to cut, which games to add, but eventually decided that I'll still do whatever I have planned and look to see what happens then. You never know what God has in store. Meanwhile, I think I'm almost done with the questions posing phase.

Yesterday's Bible study was the best one that I've had in recent memory. There was actually a topic. There were examples and discussions. There were life applications. There was an emphasis on learning these applications, instead of being bogged down by semantics and lexicon. There was enthusiasm from the leader. Praise God for His work.
