Matthew 24:40-51

So yeah, I guess if you want to go to heaven you better act like a disciple of Jesus. At least that's what I'm getting out of this. JM

Matthew 24:32-39

It's sad to think about how many people are going to die at the end of the world. And they don't even know it. It's like we're headed for this giant train wreck, God has tried to warn us, but nobody seems to care. Like in the days of Noah, people will be eating and drinking and enjoying themselves before the stuff hits the fan. Man, that's sad.
I talk about the reality of the flood a lot with students. We use it as a cutesy kid story with animals, but really it was the death of millions of people - babies, women, small children. It's sad. Hopefully I can channel that emotion into something productive, rather than feeling hopeless. JM

Matthew 24:23-31

It's really important to know what's going to happen. I mean, if you're just kind of familiar with the Bible and Jesus, and somebody says that he's in Nashville, and there is some guy in Nashville that really is doing miracles, you could probably be duped. But if you know how the end is going to go down, and how Jesus will return, then you're not going to fall for it. You'll know it's just some punk kid or something. JM

Matthew 24:10-12

I'm always amazed by examples of love. Especially when it's completely random. Like I love those commercials for Liberty Mutual ad that talks about people randomly doing the right thing for other people. I hate to imagine a world where most people will stop showing their love for each other. It saddens me to think about it. JM
