Gospel on a Napkin
June 24, 2009
“Christianity is just another screwed-up religion!” Anna said. “Seriously, what has Christianity done for us–or the world, for that matter? They’re just a bunch of hypocrites, that’s what I think! Are they good for anything?”
“I don’t know,” Caleb said. “I just don’t know.”
Caleb has been a Christian for a long time. But he can’t bring himself to share his faith… with anyone because it doesn’t sound like good news anymore. Christianity’s claims come across as hollow, arrogant, and intolerant. Worst of all, it feels like Christianity is just about “saving souls”, giving people an escape ticket to heaven while the world falls apart. There must be more to it than that. (excerpt from True Story: A Christianity Worth Believing In, by James Chuong).
Join us for ConneXions Class this week to discuss how beautiful and simple the Gospel really is. How good news can be shared on a Napkin–anywhere. Really.
