| | My heart goes out to all those who have friends and family who were affected by the recent hurricane Katrina. It should drive Christians all over our country and the world to continued prayer for each other and the world, as well as serve as a bittersweet reminder of God's sovereign control over all cimcumstances and His working them together for the ultimate good of His glory and our joy, even when the exact opposite appears to be the case. In Isaiah 45:7 He declares, "I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the LORD, who does all these things," and likewise in Amos 3:6, "Is a trumpet blown in a city, and the people are not afraid? Does disaster come to a city, unless the LORD has done it?" Yet in light of that, "we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). For a fuller list I have compiled of Scriptures that give us such assurance, visit http://puritanboard.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=10468.
It has been enjoyable beginning my study of ancient Greek. It is actually simpler and more interesting to learn than I had expected, and I look forward to being able to read samples of classical and biblical texts in time. Since I cannot test myself too frequently, this is off the top of my head: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, iota, kappa, lambda, mu, nu, xi, omicron, pi, rho, sigma, tau, upsilon, phi, chi, psi, omega. |
