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.
