Commentary on "Let the Church Know"

CHERYL GRANGER

 

Day 7: Friday, June 15, 2012 - Further Study

 

I have a few awards to give out for this lesson:

1. The "creepy comment" award goes to: "As we have seen this week, OTHERS NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING." (Is my room bugged?)
    
2. The "good question" award goes to: "What do we do if a church program isn't working?" (Maybe recant the unScriptural teachings?)
    
3. The "is God really sovereign" award goes to: "If we attribute success in evangelism to the Lord, whom do we blame if things aren't going well?"
    
4. The best "anti-gospel statement" award goes to: "However much we might DOGMATICALLY assert that the gospel is for all the world, in what ways might our own cultural and social prejudices need the same kind of shift (of the group of Jewish believers that were upset about Paul & the Gentiles in Acts 11) as the one experienced by these early Jewish believers?" (I guess this depends on whether or not you believe the Biblical gospel of 1 Cor. 15:1-4)
    
5. The "huh?" award goes to: "How can we make sure that we are always honest and truthful and not dishonestly slanting information in ways that will give us what we want, regardless of how skewed our words are?"

Teacher's Comments Section:

To be perfectly fair, on the last page of the teacher's comments there is a section on the "The Work of the Spirit".
