Mythbusters

This past Sunday we began a new teaching series at Delta called "Mythbusters."  What we're doing is looking at different myths that surround Christianity such as "The Bible is a fairytale," "God can't be good because of suffering in the world," "God is just mean and sends people to hell," and "There can't be only one way to heaven."  We'll then spend the final week looking at the clues of God in this world that reveal the Heavenly Father to us all.  I'll also be using about half of the sermon to do some Q & A from question cards, emails, Facebook posts, and comments from this blog.

If you're looking to do some extra-credit reading, the following books will be helpful:

• The Reason for God, Tim Keller
• Beyond Opinion, Ravi Zacharias
• The End of Reason, Ravi Zacharias
• Simply Christian, NT Wright
• They Like Jesus but not the Church, Dan Kimball

There are other great apologetic books by the likes of C. S. Lewis, Lee Strobel, and Josh McDowell.  I'm also reading the new book by Al Mohler called Culture Shift which addresses some of these issues, but have not finished it yet but it looks very promising. Here's my book disclaimer: Read with discernment, and don't take anybody's word as 'gospel' other than Jesus.  I may not agree with everything in the books I recommend, but I do in general.

So please, send in your honest questions about God & Christianity.  If you're looking for a fight, don't bother because we're not.  But if you sincerely have some questions and have an open heart and mind and are willing to thoughtfully engage your questions, then please participate with us.

Blessings...
