Spiritual but not Religious

I've heard a statement with increasing frequency in the last few years: "I spiritual, just not religious."  This PowerPoint lesson attempts to answer several related questions:  What is meant by this statement?  What has caused increasing numbers of people to feel this way?  Does one have to participate in "religion" to be acceptable to God?

 

Spiritual but not Religious 2- Local Church Membership

This is obviously the second half of the previous lesson, "Spiritual but not Religious."  This Powerpoint lesson seeks to answer two important questions relative to the subject: 1) Does the New Testament teach the necessity of "local church membership"? and, 2)  Why does God want us to be participants in local church memberships? 

 

The Importance of Words

The English language (which we don’t speak here in America, and especially not here in Texas where either “Amurhican” or “Texican” is the native tongue) is difficult, complex, cumbersome and frustrating, and yet can be wonderfully precise if one really knows how to use it.  Although I work at the task, I fear my efforts often fall woefully short.

 

The “Lost” Parables of Luke 15

This trio of parable have not be 'lost" and recently discovered.  They are "lost" in the sense that they all center on something, or someone, that has been lost- a sheep, a coin, and sons.  It hoped that this PowerPoint lesson will adequately explain them.
