We had a great time at the gnat attack cook-out Tuesday. Unfortunately, we'll be out again this weekend. Fortunately, Justin and Haylee will be leading class Sunday!
Take a few minutes and watch this clip of RC Sproul talking about God's "being." It'll make you feel simultaneously small and big.
Good to see some new faces mixed in with the old classic faces. It's getting stuffy and crowded in our life group room, but that's a good problem to have!
Sunday we briefly discussed "the new atheism." The author of our lesson suggested that Christians should not be overly defensive in response to the attacks of these aggressive atheists. Tim Keller echoes that sentiment in this brief clip.
He seems to suggest that noise versus noise simply creates a louder noise. It is frustrating that adherents of the new atheism would be so dismissive of our faith, our truth, and our Savior. Shouting back might feel gratifying in the moment, but to what end?
So good to be back (finally)! Our vacation was full of blessings and reminders of how good God is.
Anyway, excellent contributions all around Sunday and nice to see some new faces. Sunday we discussed the difference between knowing about God and actually knowing God. Tullian Tchividjian presents an interesting answer to the question: "Do I know God?"
Just to tie up this theme of knowing/knowing about, watch this short clip of Apollo astronauts Gene Cernan and Charlie Duke discussing their revelations upon being in space. Duke was on Apollo 16 and Cernan, often spoken of as "the last man on the moon," was on Apollo 17. Charlie Duke's last statement is fantastic.
