Tuesday, September 13, 2005 BSF NotesI have now finished my stint with BSF. I had intended to do the studies on Ruth but am not prepared to go into the city for them.What do you think of the following quote from last week's notes? It is disturbing to see how readily and widely Christians have accepted the idea that our riches in Christ - Scripture, prayer and the indwelling Holy Spirit etc. - are inadequate to meet people's real needs. Many suppose that the apostles' teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer (Acts 2:42) are not enough for the church today. Instead, the church needs other "programs" to meet the complexity and sophistication of today's society. Therefore, instead of relying on Christ and His sufficiency, they turn to Christian counselling programs, twelve-step groups, services based on entertainment, and other resources that flow more from the spirit of the age than from God or the Scriptures. 1. There is nothing wrong with Christian counselling programs - if anything we need more of them (there's alot of Christians with problems and hang-ups out there - including yours truly!). 2. I personally know people who have gone through the twelve-step programs and they have been a great help in their lives. 3. What's wrong with a bit of Christian entertainment? 4. I guess if we hold to these notes - then there is no need for BSF! It's also quite ironic to hear a room full of mainly single women speaking with so called authority on how wives and husbands should act etc. I don't endeavour to tell a surgeon how to operate, even though I might have read up on it, I'm certainly not qualified to instruct him!! Wouldn't mind his pay load though.... # posted by shellymac @ 8:15 pm 0 comments
