This site can be a walk-through for all the info you needed about this and didn’t know who to ask. Glimpse right here, and also you’ll undoubtedly discover it.

Jordan – good to see you here. And hopefully you and people like you & all my blogging friends will be a huge help as I head down this road…

As a guy who shifted from hard core dispensationalist, to after a NT eschatology emphasis in my Masters, an amillenialist I would agree. But no theology is irrelevant. In fact when Corinth is in a mess, Paul doesn't give them how-to's but theology.

As to the bottleneck issue, just pray and God will allow you to get the flu like me and then you can go back and comment on everyone's blog you haven't had time to in a while…ala me.

yeah bobby, I'm feelin' ya on the comment luv – but I'm giving disqus a run for a while. And I'll be blogging on the eschatology ideas soon – but just quickly: in my head I'm thinking that what you believe about how & when Christ returns, the world ends, etc. will form what you value today. For example – if you believe God will destroy the earth completely (with fire or nuclear war), than what is the point of 'saving the planet' or 'being green'… conversely – if you think that the stories are not literal, and were more written for the 70 BC church dealing with Romans, well, then that changes things a little… interesting things for me to wrestle with.

I'm with ya. Plenty to blog about, no time/energy to blog. But i'm falling behind on writing AND reading!

And I'm with James on eschatology. Not sure how important it really is to daily ministry. Jesus will come back. So live like it could be tomorrow. Or as a reformed friend told me years ago in the whole pretrib/posttrib debate – live for post, pray for pre!

I totally agree with Vince. We've also made it more marketable…. what does that tell you?
At least you haven't gone on the month and half hiatus like me! What was that about?
I'll be praying with you….. you've put a challenge on me, and it does seem quite “Impossible”.

i love me some eschatology, and it does define your ministry in a HUGE way. Probably the biggest reason American theology is so safe.
