Introductory Group Session

We are in the midst of a Culture War.

…..

In many ways the Pre-Christian culture in Acts 4 mirrors the Post-Christian culture in which we live.

….

Religious Relativism

"All religions are basically the same"

"We all worship the same god but just refer to him/her/it by different name"

The big brother to religious relativism is tolerance.

…..

Additionally, we must celebrate, embrace, and incorporate their beliefs into our own belief system.

Philosophical Pluralism

There are no absolutes. What's true for you may not be true for me.

There is no such thing as absolute truth.

It is logically impossible for there to be no absolutes.

….

We are marginalized.

Neutrality is not an option.

….

There is an effort to redefine Christianity.

…..

We experience open hostility when we use the name of Jesus. Why? Because there is power in the name of Jesus!

…..

We must continue to stand firm and proclaim.

…..

Remember this promise: "All who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted."

We must proclaim what we have seen and heard in spite of the consequences.

AMEN! Go punch them in the mouth.
