AcTs - Armchair Theologians

it has been a bit since i last wrote about the AcTs group. we meet semi-regularly at Panera or one of our homes. we get together after having read the current selection and discuss it from a theological standpoint. sometimes it is easy to see the correlation. . . The Idea of the Holy by Rudolph Otto. and sometimes maybe not-so-much. . . The Green Mile by Stephen King.

we have discussed The Shack by William P. Young and the Book of Judges from the Old Testament. and currently, we are set to tackle The Celtic Way of Evangelism by George G. Hunter and then Robert Briner's book Roaring Lambs.

the point is to get in a habit of talking about God and the relationship between Him and humankind. it's about developing a correct world view. whether or not you acknowledge having a world view - you have one. and it determines the way you look at your life and ultimately, the choices you make that determine your life.

getting together with others and reading through a book and then discussing it is a great way to challenge your own thinking. especially if you can find people smarter than yourself!

so pick a book and go find some smart friends!
