Part 10 of a Bible study on the Revelation of St. John, an amillennialist interpretation.

Why must give an account to God for what we have done with our stuff?  Isn't it ours, after all?  An interesting question, and one worth exploring...

Part 9 of a Bible study on the Revelation of St. John, an amillennialist interpretation.

Why the Biblical warnings against possessions?  Can't we use things to do good?  We certainly can, but it is difficult to not become consumed with acquiring and managing our possessions.  Jesus teaches us how much is too much...

Part 7 of a Bible study on the Revelation of St. John, an amillennialist interpretation.
