Over a year ago, Village Schools of the Bible Principal Max Frazier, started blogging his musings on the Gospel of John. He completed a similar project on Revelation a year ago. Here’s the table of contents for the project.

This excerpt is from his June 22-28 entry focusing on the Economy. It’s good food for thought no matter what the economic climate may be:

Is there any good news on the horizon? Absolutely…Jesus is coming! Yet I realize that all of us are affected by a declining economy. Giving in many churches is dramatically lower than in past years. Many of you in business are feeling the ramifications of higher energy prices and a lowered consumer confidence. Those of you who are in nonprofit organizations or in missions already know that support raising has become more difficult. I know in our ministry – Village Schools of the Bible – we are seeing some decline in overall giving. If all we looked at were dollars and cents, then we would all be fearful, not only for the future, but also for the present. Yet our future and our present is not predicated upon what the oil-futures market does, or what the hedge-funds say about corn and soybeans, or what the value of the dollar is against …well, you name the currency of your choice. Our hope and our future is based upon this absolute reality…Jesus is coming! And so we cling dearly to that truth. It is our lifeline in the midst of a world of change…at times chaotic change.

Read the rest.
