Hello everyone. I have been taking the last several days off to stay caught up on class work. It looks like everything is a go on the master's program at Redemption Seminary. I will get to the last piece of the generosity series before the weekend.
Monday we will start a series on God's Attributes. How I plan to work through them is in pairs. I spent last week reading Attributes of God by A.W. Tozer and it occurred to me that God's attributes are best explained in pairs so that we get our vocabulary right. As you will often hear me say, precision is incredibly important because we live in the information age. Tik-Tok videos of Christian Deconstruction are all the rage right now and the core element to all of them is precision. Either imprecision on their part that "millstones" people of weak faith or on our part as leaders that lead to these superficial understandings of Christianity that are easy to lampoon and attack.
Over the next two weeks I will be finishing up my last class through Awkng School of Theology to transfer to Redemption so that I can take a clean run at the new coursework. If I think I will need to take a few days off I will let you know. I want to take this opportunity to offer you all the open floor to bring a teaching or discussion to the group through this platform. That's the ultimate goal. I want to get us started and hand things off to the rest of you. I think spiritual growth is better when more voices are heard than less. Especially if we have the environment to think out loud. Discipleship is deeply profound and to go far we must go together.
I'm trying to decide if we should expand this group to Facebook. I hate to give them traffic; it is really hard for me to want to support someone that hates me. On the other hand, we have to operate within the societal tools available to reach people. Paul did use the Acropolis. The worldview sewer of its day. I want things to be as easy as possible for sharing and growth.
I hope you all are having a great week. I'm excited to share God's attributes with you; I really think it will enrich your understanding of scripture and help you with basic apologetics.
God Bless!
