Reading God's Mind?

National Geographic reports that a new brain scanning program has opened up the very real possibility that, one day, scientists will be able to develop a devise that allows them to read a person's mind. Click the post title for the full article. Many will react to the idea as ludicrous and just too science fiction-like. But...people have for a long time thought they could do a brain scan on God, by carefully studying the Bible, and read his mind. Many do this even, or especially, when it comes to time and predicting the end. Many of us have seen tabloid leads like the one pictured here with new hard evidence, or a new reading of God's mind, to predict the end. There are bunches of books out there with some well illustrated timelines. Please always remember and never forget that it is not bad or wrong to wonder about the end of all time. Jesus' first followers wondered out loud to Jesus about hte very end. And do you remember what he said to them? He said, "That's not for you to know." Read Matthew 24:31-41, Jesus says no one knows, not the angels, not Jesus at the time, only God the Father. That end time stuff is God's business. It's God's job to take care of that one. I think that's pretty good news. In a world where there is so much to know, so much to be aware of, so much to take into consideration, God takes this one off our shoulders: Time. It's just not something we should concern ourselves with. It's really none of our business. And it's really nothing to be afraid of. More on that later.
