Points To Ponder 11/23/2005

**********
Many think salvation in Christ is an end all...but it is only the beginning. It is the event that secures for us a place in heaven.... But after the event there should be a process of ongoing spiritual growth as we are conformed into the image of Christ day by day here on earth.

BIBLE QUIZ:
**********
Bible Question (Daniel 8:1-7 NIV) - In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign, I, Daniel, had a vision, after the one that had already appeared to me. In my vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa in the province of Elam; in the vision I was beside the Ulai Canal. I looked up, and there before me was a ram with two horns, standing beside the canal, and the horns were long. One of the horns was longer than the other but grew up later. I watched the ram as he charged toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against him, and none could rescue from his power. He did as he pleased and became great. As I was thinking about this, suddenly a ________ with a prominent horn between his eyes came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground. He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and charged at him in great rage. I saw him attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering his two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against him; the ________ knocked him to the ground and trampled on him, and none could rescue the ram from his power.
