Surrendering to Ministry - Seminaries to Attend

So maybe the Lord has lead you to surrender to ministry. Wonderful! Congratulations.  If so, that is a great calling, to aspire to be an overseer, 1st Timothy chapter 3. Paul commends that. Next steps? Often today a person will go to a Bible college or seminary to get doctrinal, leadership, and evangelism foundations.  But there is a dilemma: where? A large number of schools exist for theological education, but there are some top choices.  While talking to a wider group of friends lately, I've had some ask, "where should they go for a Bible degree or seminary?" It's a fair question. But posing it is easier than answering it, due to the mixed theological environment today among professors and administrators.  It is much harder than it once was, to keep track of a "good choice" of seminary/Bible college.  When you are asked that today, in mid-2021, the answer may differ from even five years ago.

The Millennium: Three Main Views

     A friend recently excitedly asked me about the Millennium as a belief among us as Christians. Is it in the Bible? What is it? It is found in Scripture, I shared in Revelation chapter 20. In fact, several times the 1000 year time is mentioned for emphasis.      We find this, chapter 20, verses 1 to 15 (NASB) from Jesus' closest disciple, and an apostle: "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain  [ a ] in his hand.     And he took hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years ;     and he threw him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.   Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgm...
