Snowday at U of I = Blogging...

Because of our little snowstorm here in Champaign, IL, we have had our classes shut down. The following donations will be accepted for poor college students to get around campus: Skis, snowboards, shovels, snowshoes, snowblowers, and sleds.

I believe it is in fact, a gift from God that the snow has us huddled inside today, so that our little group here can start blogging ( or wordcasting as they say in some circles). What shall we write about? Many fear to discuss or write about this book of the Bible because they believe that mass chaos will ensue-The Revelation of Jesus Christ.

How you will you do it, you say? Well, a Man once said that we have a Teacher, a Counselor, and His name is the Holy Spirit. He shall lead us into all truth. So, we stand in the face of wrong ideas, interpretations, and theology. The Holy Spirit desires to reveal Jesus, our Bridegroom God to us. He desires for us to fall more in love with Him. Iron sharpens iron.

In 1 Corinthians 2: 10 -12 it says:

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. ( NKJV)

Why you say? First, we desire to know Jesus. We desire to know our God and His desire towards us in every way possible.

Jeremiah 29: 12-14:

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity.


The Lord is speaking here to Israel. This is applicable to all who come to him though. Yes, even these 6 college students in Champaign, Il. We will be going through Revelation with prayer and fasting. This brings me to reason # 2.

We want to discern the time and season we are currently living in. Jesus requires us to (Luke 21:29-36). We do not want to handle the Word carelessly. We want to approach the Word with hearts that are longing to know Jesus. It is the first time that it is possible in over 2000 years that we may be in the generation of the Lord's returning ( we'll discuss more on this later).


Join along as we venture into God's burning heart. We hope to be consumed.

Paul- I would say right in between counterfeit worldwide peace and safety and the Great Falling Away. :) Wait, so are you being serious?
