DC 403 - Week 5

This is our final week on eschatology, and we'll be looking at heaven. Here's how the workload might break down:

Monday - Read Amos and Micah and comment
Tuesday - Read Psalms 124-134, as well as the articles by Joni Erickson Tada, "What's So Great about Pearly Gates?" and Christopher Hall, "Christ's Kingdom and Paradise," and comment
Wednesday - Memorize Revelation 21:4 - He will wipe every tear from their eyes; there will be no more death or mourning, or crying or pain. For the old order of things has passed away - and review previous memory verses, such as Philippians 1:20-25, Matthew 10:28, and Hebrews 11:1-2,6
Thursday - Answer questions 1a-b, 2, 3, and 4a-b (6 questions) and review memory verses
Friday - Answer questions 5a-c and 6a-c (6 questions) and review memory verses

In addition to this workload, we need to start thinking about next week's lesson as well. The topic is free will / predestination, and since there's a lot to discuss on that issue, we want to go ahead this week and make an effort to define the will and what it means to have free will. We'll close our study of heaven by looking at those questions.
