A Fun Blog Game

Friends,

My buddy Jeff at atheocracy tagged me into a fun game. Here’s the gist from his blog:

The rules are very straightforward and go as follows: 1. Grab the nearest book (that is at least 123 pages long).
2. Open to p. 123.
3. Go down to the 5th sentence.
4. Type in the following 3 sentences.
5. Tag five people.

Here’s what I posted:

This is from a commentary I am reading James D G Dunn, The New International Greek Testament Commentary: The Epistles to the Colossians and to Philemon, page 123:

“This is an appropriate note on which to wind up this brief reference to the mystery of God’s purpose shaped from before the ages and generations and now moving towards its eschatological climax. ‘Christ in you’ spans the full sweep of time, God’s creative power in Christ determining end as well as beginning and blending the individual into the harmony of the divine composition. The hoped-for ‘gory’ again ties the whole process into God: such glory can only be God’s (’the wealth of glory’).”

(The next sentence reads: “It is the radiant energy which first accomplished creation and which will accomplish its consummation.”)

He is commenting on Colossians chapter 1, verse 27.

Now, for my 5 tags: Joe Martino,  Tim Reed, Michael Spencer, Chris Rosebrough, Jason Goroncy.

Have fun.
