6-6-06 is here!

In the early church they did not celebrate birthdays because it was a reminder of when a person was born into original sin. Even worse if you are born on the day represented by the number of the mark of the beast.

Revelation 18:13 Wisdom is needed to understand this. Let the one who has understanding solve the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.

Yes, that man is me. I stayed up last night until midnight to see if I would start sprouting horns or something. I didn’t. But, you never know…

Focusing more on what is rather than what is to come is always a good idea. Too much emphasis on end times and the apocalypse and such just seems to me to be almost a contradiction of these words from Matthew 7:31-34.

31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

The trouble is the end times stuff is just so intriguing. Let me ask you something. If you knew when Jesus is coming back, would you do anything differently?

Well then, go ahead, by all means.
