A Walk In the Garden

I love the Lord. I love the way he drops things in my Spirit. I just wrapped up 1 Thessalonians in Sunday school. I am not sure about the class, but I loved it. The last part when it gets in to end times stuff, I did not want to get bogged down in it. It is important, but with a diverse group in a short time, I did not want to have to chase rabbits. The end of the book is so cool, the way Paul lays out some practical stuff for the daily life.

Any who, I have been thinking/praying where to go next. God just zapped me yesterday during church about where to go. God is so funny.

So starting Sunday I will begin teaching The Olivet Discourse. It kind of scared me at first because just like the end of 1 Thessalonians, it is all about eschatology. But as I got to reading it and praying through it, I thought, you know, we could simply tell the story and glean from it.

I am not a date setter or a person who says that what is not clear must mean this or that. I am not dogmatic about things must happen in this order. I think it is OK for somethings to be a mystery.

But there are some beautiful lessons in these short 2 chapters. So we are going to walk though the garden with Jesus and listen to the story He has to tell.
