There are 1011 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
"Why do we demean daily work as “secular?” The Bible is full of people who went to work every day. They produce goods (cattle farmers - Abraham; vineyard tenders - Amos; iron workers - Tubalcain; carpenters - Jesus; tentmakers - Priscilla; and textile producers - ?.) Manage resources (grain supplies - Joseph; employee/slaves - Onesimus; building projects - Nehemiah; armies - Deborah; finances - Matthew; and governments - Hezekiah.) Serve the public (medicine - Luke; courts - ?; civil rights - Moses; public finance - ?; community development - Barnabas; urban rehabilitation - Ezra.) Performers and entertainers (musicians - Miriam; sculptors - ?; seamstresses - ?; dancers - David; worship leaders - Zachariah; writers - Paul, Luke, Solomon. God does not view these people and their work as ignoble, irrelevant or ‘secular.’ By including them in the Scriptures they become a 'great cloud of witnesses' encouraging us to faithfulness and obedience in all that we do.
