In 'Mere Christianity', C.S. Lewis argues for the existence of God and defends Christian theology. The book is divided into four parts: the first argues for the existence of God based on the 'law of human nature'; the second defends Christian theology, including the 'Liar, lunatic, or Lord' trilemma regarding Jesus Christ; the third explores Christian ethics, including the cardinal and theological virtues; and the fourth discusses the Christian conception of God, particularly the Holy Trinity. Lewis also addresses topics such as free will, morality, sexual ethics, and the institution of marriage. The book is known for its clear and logical presentation of Christian apologetics and has been praised for its straightforward and humorous writing style[1][2][4].
Velvet Elvis
Repainting the Christian Faith
Rob Bell
In 'Velvet Elvis', Rob Bell challenges readers to rethink the Christian faith by stripping it down to its basic elements and exploring the mysteries and wonders of faith. The book emphasizes the importance of questioning and reflecting on beliefs, rather than accepting them at face value. Bell discusses various aspects of faith, including the role of doctrines, the significance of personal experiences, and the concept of 'shalom' or holistic salvation. He encourages readers to engage deeply with their faith, celebrating the mystery and awe of spiritual experiences and living a life aligned with the teachings of Jesus[2][4][5].
The law reveals our need, but grace meets it. In this episode of the Deepen Podcast, Pastor Joby is joined by Pastor Ryan Britt and Pastor Jonathan Vinke to go deeper into I Timothy 1:8-17 where Paul emphasizes that 'the law is good if one uses it lawfully.' The law serves as a mirror, exposing our sinfulness and need for a Savior, rather than a means to attain righteousness. How might we be misusing the law in our own lives and instead allow it to guide us towards a deeper relationship with Jesus?
