THE TRUTH PROJECT BEGINS NEXT WEEK

As we have been discussing in Sunday School, we will begin a new DVD series from Focus on the Family next week: THE TRUTH PROJECT. I have watched the first three lessons. While there are some deep philosophical questions addressed in these lessons, the program attempts to provide a Biblical lens through which we can view the world around us. For example, the first question addressed is, "What is truth?" Think about it. If you were asked to define "truth" right now, what would you say? How would you describe truth? Would you use examples? While the leader of the lesson does make reference to a dictionary definition,(he uses a 1928 version of the dictionary because it is much less directed toward politically correct definitions)he also makes reference to scripture and ultimately uses scripture to help us understand truth and to understand the many concepts in our culture that are simply pernicious lies. I hope you will gain much understanding from these lessons and that you will enjoy learning about the Biblical world view.

I do need to ask for your help. Would you please make a special effort to get to Sunday School by 9:00 a.m. so that we can start the DVD by 9:10 a.m. or 9:15 a.m. at the latest? The DVD lessons run for 56 minutes. Therefore, there will be little or no time for follow-up discussion in class. We may be able to have a very brief follow-up if we get started early, but on most days, we probably will not have time for a discussion. We may be able to consider some issues through this blog...you can make comments on this blog. However, we will need most of the Sunday School class just to watch the DVD. So, please set a reminder and make your best effort to be in class by 9:00 a.m. See you all next Sunday.
