Main Discussion

This week we explore a hard look at our culture and see different ways Satan Influences our culture and the church more specifically.

 

What do you think the reason for the Law is? 

Why do we have our own laws here in the United States?

Why did God give us His law in the Bible?

 

What do you think of what you hear "Just do it"?

How are we to judge? Are we to judge?

Satan's Influence

 

Is Christianity a blind faith? Why or why not?

 

Top three responses from those when asked "Why do you believe what you believe?" I believe because...

1. I was brought up in this faith.

2. God changed me to be a better person.

3. I had a personal experience with God and my life changed forever.
