In the future, we are likely going to have a series dedicated to these individual letters. But for now, we’re going to step back and consider them as a whole and how they fit into the overall message of Revelation. We look to the reading of God’s word if you would join with me in prayer. Bless are you, O the Father of all mercy.

Is it a full bank account, 20 acres, a cabin in the woods, and one on the beach? Is it a garage full of toys and time to use them?

Lloyd Pierson Ph.D. From the Greek word for knowledge, epistome, we get the term epistemology, which is one of those very large and intimidating words which just simply means the study or the theory of how we know. It’s the heart of knowing anything. For most of us, we basically just go through life with a rudimentary understanding without without truly knowing the details. Gravity is an easy concept to see.
