Something to Study On: Age of Deceit

 There is an interesting series of videos from the Koinonia House YouTube channel called "The Age of Deceit". While watching Part 6, my brain was so flooded with questions that I had to slow down the playback speed so I could take notes.

Here is the video:


Here are some of the questions and thoughts that I noted and will be studying:

  • How then should churches be set up?
  • Jesus had the first "mega-church" when he was teaching thousands. He didn't need anything to "entertain" the people; he simply spoke.
  • I need to check out that World Christian Encyclopedia (which I'd never heard of before now).
  • Perhaps one of the things that "turn off" some seeking people from Christianity is the way we have complicated things with churches and worship.
  • Is it Nicolaitan then to have Bishops and a variety of clergy - or anything other than the teachers/preachers?
I keep a notebook of questions and thoughts like these because my memory is so poor. When I am doing Bible Study, my notebook helps remind me of things I wanted to know more about. It's been a very helpful habit.

This video series is another one of the reminders that we need to always be discerning and prayerful about everything.

I just wanted to share this with you.
