In this article, Andrew Sullivan says "Christianity has been destroyed by politics, priests, and get-rich evangelists. Ignore them, writes Andrew Sullivan, and embrace Him".

Are some of the more popular evangalists preaching a form of Christianity that is ignoring key parts of Jesus' teachings? Sullivan: "The issues that Christianity obsesses over today simply do not appear in ... the original New Testament."

Lively discussion about these issues marked the discussion.

You can read the article linked above.

Be watching for additional "Chapel Chats" Sundays at 10 in Merriman Chapel. A chance to join in some discussions about issues around our faith.

It's not too late to join in on the interesting discussion of the Ten Commandments!

Pastor Chuck is delivering a Sermon Series during Lent which takes "Another Look at the Big Ten" during the 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. worship services. No matter which worship service you decide to attend, it will be easy to add the 10:00 a.m. discussion on the Ten Commandments to your agenda.

Either stay just-a-bit later or come just-a-bit earlier to grow in His wisdom regarding the commandments that set the foundation for peace in the world thousands of years ago and today!

A short video is being viewed each week with a well-known person giving his/her testimony on the effect of abiding by--or not abiding by--one of the commandments effected their life.

Come and join us for this informal discussion and grow in His word!

Questions?....just call the Vance Memorial Presbyterian office at 304-232-0980.

SEE YOU SUNDAY!
