What if something you believed wasn’t true, would you want to know? An interesting question, and it was in fact the question that was the driving force behind this series. The more you ponder that question, the more we believe that you will come to one conclusion – it depends. It depends on how important the thing is that you believe that isn’t true. Most likely, how badly you will want to know if something you believe isn’t true will be directly proportionate to what the consequences of that incorrect belief are.
How Important Is It?
If you believe that Jiff peanut butter uses more fresh peanuts than Skippy, the consequences of that belief being wrong are fairly insignificant. Consider on the other hand if you believed that smoking wasn’t bad for you and that, in fact, it actually had some health benefits. The consequences of that incorrect belief could be quite devastating to many people. However, people still have a choice to make – what you do with that information is up to you.
What has God actually said?
Our goal in this short series is to clear up some potential misconceptions about God that you might believe. To clear up areas where what you believe isn’t true. What you do with that information is ultimately up to you. At the conclusion of our series you are free to do what you want with that information, but at least you aren’t making decisions based on something that isn’t true. We simply want to try to better clarify and give you a better picture of who God is, and what His message is to us today. That’s all. Ultimately, you may not act on something you know to be true, but you certainly won’t act on something that you believe isn’t true.
All Comers – Something for Everyone
We are not assuming that you enter this series believing any, or all, of the incorrect beliefs about God that we will cover. In fact, for you, some or all of the areas covered may be things that you already don’t believe. They will be things that you already believe are not true. In other words, what you believe is true is true! That is great! This series is for you as well. Our hope is that you will walk about more sure of what you believe and with a new depth of understanding.
We Want to Hear From You
We certainly don’t have all the answers and are not here to tell you what to believe. You are free to disagree! In fact, we have intentionally created an environment where you will have time to discuss what we cover each week. This is meant to be a dialogue, not a monologue.
