Here is the video I mentioned in my previous post. He leads us to think about the depth of the Gospel message of God in Christ Jesus. While there may be an element in which he overstates the issue here, I believe that his main point is pretty much on target. If we settle for a more shallow Christian faith, should we be surprised when we see that reflected in the Christian Church?
While it is a challenge to introduce people to the depths of the Christian faith, we shouldn't settle for a very basic understanding, either. We may introduce people to the Christian faith via easy to understand messages and ways, but the point I want to make is that we should not leave them there. Rather, we should have an idea for how we want to cultivate a far deeper faith in them as they come into the Christian Church. Far too often, we introduce them to the basics, and then leave them there, without any guidance into the depths of the good news of God. So please keep that in mind as you watch this video.
