My wife and I were fans of Rich. Love his music. I was fortunate to see him in concert twice.

Excellent Wow I will show others some of these great insights! People leave context out so much. The Teenage Disciples is an earth shaking concept!

Comment on The Kingdom of God (part 3 – Just Yoking…) by Chris L.

I went on a trip with Ray’s organization (That The World May Know Ministries), and I’d heard Ray tell the story before. We were in Sefat, and I knew where the photography shop was, so when we were there, I had one of the guys in my group ask the rabbi about his favorite picture, and he had the same answer for my friend (Jon) as he’d had for Ray’s friend several years before. We had some other conversations with him, as well, and I think he asked far more questions of us than we of him…

I just listened to this exact story about the Rabbi in Sefat regarding the questioning nature of Rabbinic teaching from Ray Vander Laan, and have heard Ray say this first-person account story before in other settings. Were you on the same trip with him? What a potent first hand illustration!

Comment on The Seven Cities of Revelation IV: Tolerating Jezebel by Chris L.

Kevin,

I suspect this probably had some specific meaning to the church at Thyatira (like with the letters to the other churches), but one theory is that her idea was that one could not appreciate the grace of God without experiencing the depths of depravity. Paul deals w/ this in his letters to the Corinthians, and elsewhere, and it seems to be a stream of thought within the history of the church at Thyatira, as well.

I’m sorry if you explain this in another post, but what do you think ‘Satan’s deep secrets’ refers to? It doesn’t sound to me to just be things that make sense (idolatry, lust, etc.) in general, but something(s) more specific.
Thanks
