The prophetic prognosticators are at the prediction game again. Greg Laurie, author of Are We Living in the Last Days?,” is peering through contemporary events like Hurricane Katrina, earthquakes, 9–11, and the tsunami that struck Southeast Asia on December 26, 2004 and claiming that these events are a prelude to the “rapture” of the church. George Noory, host of “Coast to Coast AM,” follows a similar line of thought. “I don't think there’s any doubt. I think we’re really in [the end times].” We’ve read about similar predictions for centuries. Nearly 20 centuries of predictions of the end have yellowed and grown faint with the parchment and paper they were written and printed on.

I have to admit that the Bengals did look decent yesterday. The Browns had moments of brilliance too. Time will tell how both of these teams play, and whether either one has the goods. They both have some good talent, but talent alone does not a football team make.
The Bengals drive at the end of the 1st quarter was textbook football. That convinces me that their offense has some ummpf.
Their defense was ok, but many are saying the Browns weren't firing on all cylinders. The test in Central Div will be the Steelers.
Me too! Do you think the media is just a tad jumpy about this one?

I thought the defense on both teams was a little weak, but the Browns were weaker than the Bengals there. The Browns offense was able to find holes in the Bengals defense, and the Bengals offense was all over the Browns defense like a cheap suit, unfortunately.
Makes no difference since USC is going to run the table again. too much talent and speed for anyone to handle. As usual, their toughest games will be against other PAC-10 teams. No one else has a chance.
My dad actually liked Spam. If I even see the can I turn green.
I think Big 12 football, year in and year out, is the best in the nation....and has proven so.
USC probably is the best in the nation, however, they would be unwise to ignore what takes place elsewhere, particularly in the Big 12.
I understand that, however, you miss the point about the millennial kingdom out of Jerusalem.
Hey...remind me of something. You are post-mil, aren't you? I think grammar is, too. Maybe TC54 (C54 Where are you?)
Thanks.
Will try to catch up with it later at home. Still at the college and will likely go for Chinese food and some Chinese chess at the China Buffet.
Reporting for duty ... postmil? You betcha. Orthodox preterist postmil.
You'd like it, x. It's hopeful and encouraging and urges a continuation of the Great Commission as a current responsibility for all Christians.
Postmill holds that the earth is good because it is of God and will grow in sanctification so that eventually life will truly be "on earth as it is in heaven."
All knees bowed to Christ. If we don't believe that's possible as God's will, it makes it much more difficult to achieve.
What better way to neuter the Christian imperative than to deny it exists?
An excellent short link to what Postmillenialism is and isn't is found here...
Also checking to see if you caught the TV series reference.
I can't tell if you did. If not, you're probably in your 40's or less.
Wesley was postmil.
I appreciate the invitation to join.
With the flood in Noah's day...who remained?
Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis ... you bet.
Always feels weird being on the same side as all the Calvinists.
But at least I can comfort myself with the thought that in its prime, Methodism was postmillenial as well.
Don't know much about chinese chess, played the checkers before. let me know what your fortune cookie says, k?
