Interministry Initiatives - Part 2

Georgia Tech's Interministry initiative is moving forward, but the first stumbling blocks have come along.

First and foremost, people are dropping their support. while the first meeting had too many people, going from 40 to 6 made a big difference in terms of what can be done. The good thing is that those 6, myself included, do not look like they will be leaving in the short term.

In addition, the next great challenge is, what are we going to do? Currently, there is a worship service. The question I have to ask is... what will make this one different from the others that exist already? Will it be that people from multiple ministries show up? Will this really cause mixing? This is our greatest challenge, and the point of the initiative; how do we get the ministries to communicate?

My idea on the matter is to start having moderated debates or discussions, and let students see what the other ministries are teaching. If all can keep a level head and love for their brotyers in Christ, it could work. If not, then the current momentum for a new worship service will be our other ticket. As the spring semester is in its final month at Georgia Tech, we will see this initiative's future very soon. My hope is, no matter what happens, that we will see action.

Chemistry and Biochemistry in the Bible

I am putting together a list of verses in the Bible that detail chemical reactions, in part because of my strong interest in chemistry. These are what I've found so far:

Proverbs 25:20
[As] he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, [and as] vinegar upon nitre, so [is] he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.

"Nitre" from the Hebrew word nether is an old word for sodium carbonate, which is commonly used as baking soda.

More to come as I find them.
