I'm getting to my blog a little late in the day - we just finished Greek class tonight.  I have four lovely ladies that take the class on Tuesdays.  The astonishing thing for me is that we are only two lessons from being through with Greek 1!  Amazing.  I mean really - Greek is no cake-walk.  You don't take the course because you just feel like doing something on the side.  It can toast your cookies.  Yet these women are hammering through it all and getting it done. I feeling kinda proud - givin' Jesus the glory.

Why learn Koine Greek?  Ask God - He's the one that chose it for what we call the New Testament Scriptures.  How powerful would the church be if the majority knew it - as they once did.  There was a time when every university required taking the course - even in high school a hundred years ago, you were exposed to the language. 

So I see it as planting some seeds.  Undoubtedly, there will be some mighty oaks that come from them; to the glory of God, and Him alone.
