Have you seen Craig Koester's terrific Cities of Revelation pages?

Well worth a visit, as is BiblePlaces.com. The latter is a site aiming to get you to purchase what looks to be a great CD ROM, but there's stacks of great stuff to view at the site free of charge

Two Phases of the Christian Life

Dan Phillips short, pithy post is worth pondering. The comments are also helpful, including Dan's own explanation of what he wrote.

Stage One: Lots of fire, not much wood.

Stage Two: Lots of wood, not much fire.
Note: descriptive, not prescriptive.

Discuss.

Olan Strickland made this comment:

DJP: Stage One: Lots of fire, not much wood.
Head over hills in love with the Lord but not very deep theologically.

DJP: Stage Two: Lots of wood, not much fire.
Able to discern between good and evil, between true ministers and false ministers, but fallen from first love.

Kinda like the church at Ephesus in the second chapter of Revelation.
