How should Bible-believing Christians deal with the Chris Rock controversy? Here are my thoughts. 

Youtube channel at youtube.com/@johnblanier

One of the hardest things to do as a Christian is to feel comfortable asking questions in front of other Christians. We're scared to death other believers might think less of us for asking a really stupid question no one else struggles with. So, we keep our Qs to ourselves.

My hope is to stir up our minds to ask questions by creating an environment in small groups where questions are not only encouraged but the answers are pursued. So many Christians have questions concerning the Bible, God, the world, and even their own salvation. Christian fellowship ought to be the place where these issues are worked out rather than rehashing the old phrase "just have more faith".

People are #deconstruct -ing all over the place from #christianity. Can deconstructing be a positive journey? How should the church respond?

Barna Group research suggests the main reason why the masses aren't coming to church stems from the lack of vocation-based preaching and programs available. The people seek life skills, job fairs, and work-focused seminars. Should the church lead the way with programs to deliver the goods? Or is there a better way to be the church that will bring back the fold? #christianity #church #jesus #discipleship
