............................
This week there are actually TWO CHAT QUESTIONS.
- Feel free to respond to EITHER or BOTH.
- This Sunday Pastor Mike will be presenting a message entitled, "Gone With The Wind," the first in a series of messages presenting Biblical truths based around famous movie titles.
- This week's message focuses around the truths of Ephesians 4:14-15...
- As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ."
- In other words, we need to be grounded, established in the teachings of God's Word, the Bible, so false doctrine and false teachers don't cause us to get "blown off course" or result in our being carried away by error, blown around like a loose leaf in the wind.
This week's chat questions, therefore, are these:
- 1) What is a false doctrine you have heard...one that you might have even believed for awhile until you learned from the Bible that it was wrong?
- Here are some ideas to help "stir your thinking" a little...
- For example, maybe you heard someone teach that you can lose your salvation (which you can't).
- Or maybe you heard someone teach that you can't really be a Christian unless you speak in tongues (which also is not true).
- Maybe it was the false notion that Jesus isn't really God.
- Or that men can become gods.
- Or that everybody goes to heaven if they're sincere enough.
- Or that in heaven everybody will be playing harps, sitting on clouds.
- Or maybe something completely different from any of these.
- #2 What have you found most helpful to you in helping you be "grounded," to learn what the Bible has to say, to remember what it has to say, and to apply its truths to your life?
- Again, here are some ideas to help "stir your thinking" a little...
- For example, maybe you've learned to work into your daily schedule a specific time and place to read and study your Bible, pray, etc.
- Maybe you've found a particular book, commentary, method, etc., that has been particularly helpful to you.
- Or, maybe it's something completely different from all of that.
- Whatever your thoughts, though, tell us about them.
