Link of the week: What do non-Christians REALLY think of Christians?

The title of this article at ChurchLeaders.com may make some Christians wince a little--but after reading it, they will find in very encouraging, especially in their stepping out in faith to share about Jesus. Thom Rainer, the article's author, notes one particular fact that stood out to me: "In one study we conducted, we found only 5 percent of non-Christians are antagonistic toward Christians. It’s time to stop believing the lies we have been told."

Give the article a read and see what you think. I believe the insights can really equip us in bringing the Good News of Jesus to those around us.

Discussion link of the week: “5 Things God Never Said”

Just wanted to get some of your feedback on this article at ChurchLeaders.com, “5 Things God Never Said.” I found the article thought-provoking. You may not agree with everything R. Larry Moyer says in the article, but it should prompt us to examine whether popularly held beliefs in our churches are biblically based, or are merely traditions or misconceptions we only thought were in the Bible. Give the article a read and let me know what you think.
