		<description><![CDATA[Mark 13 has often been used to teach about the second coming of Jesus. It may surprise you to know that ¾’s of this chapter is Jesus teaching about the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem.   The temple in Jerusalem in Jesus’ day was a wonder.  Theologically it represented the very presence of God [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This blog may be controversial.  My basic argument is that the primary role of the pastor/elder is edification not evangelism.   The apostle Peter wrote in 1 Peter 5:1-2, “To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow-elder…Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care”.    The King James Version of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[God doesn’t loose his temper like us, but he certainly gets angry.  Many times the Bible speaks about God’s wrath or anger.  God’s anger is his steady, consistent, personal, divine revulsion to evil and his personal opposition to it.  God gets angry over sin, especially in those who claim to be his people. &#160;  It [...]]]></description>

I’m not Adolf Hitler   We think that sin is not serious or offensive enough to warrant an eternal, conscious, state of suffering.  However, the Bible teaches that sin is horrendous and hugely offensive to God.  God [...]]]></description>
