Chapter 32 SummaryPoint to Ponder: Who am I when I feel most authentically myself?Quote to Remember: ''Idolatrous faith has a definite dynamic: it can be extremely passionate and exercise a preliminary healing power... But the basis of the integration is too narrow. Idolatrous faith breaks down sooner or later and the disease is worse than before. The on limited element which has been elevated to ultimacy is attacked by other limited elements... The fulfillment of the unconscious drives does not last they ar ...

Chapter 31 SummaryPoint to Ponder: I am not a robot programmed by God. Quote to Remember: ''Flee, my friend, into your solitude: I see you stung all over by posonous flies. Flee where the air is raw and strong. Flee into your solitude! You have lived too close to the small and the miserable. Flee their invisible revenge!... They hum around you with their praise, too: obtrusiveness is their praise. They want the proximity of your skin and your blood... Often they affect charm. But that has always been the cle ...

Chapter 30 SummaryPoint to Ponder: For Rick Warren, ''spiritual'' gifts are simply talents your church wants to exploit.Quote to Remember: ''Men of thought seldom work well together, whereas between men f action there is usually an easy sense of camaraderie. Teamwork is rare in intellectual and artistic undertakings, but common and almost indispensable among men of action.'' (Eric Hoffer, The True Believer)Question to Consider: Is the Pentecostal belief in spiritual gifts essentially any less strange than be ...

Chapter 25 SummaryPoint to Ponder: What happens to me is ''good'' if I decide it is.Quote to Remember: ''A theory is a theory, not a reality. All a theory can do is remind me of certain thoughts that were a part of my reality then. A statement or a 'fact' is an emphasis - one way of looking at something. At worst it is a kind of myopia. A name is also just one way of seeing something. I can't make a statement about reality without omitting many other things which are also true about it. Even if it were possi ...

Chapter 24 SummaryPoint to Ponder: If you believe the Bible is an infallible authority because your pastor said so, then he is really your infallible authority, isn't he?Quote to Remember: ''That which does not preach Christ is not apostolic, though it be the work of Peter or Paul and conversely, that which does teach Christ is apostolic even though hit be written by Judas, Annas, Pilate, or Herod.'' (Martin Luther, preface to James)Question to Consider: What isn't any true statement just as good as the ''Wo ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
23 - When Is A Religion Not A ReligSpecial guest: Dave VanAllen!So, it looks like no one really likes to think of their faith as a ''religion'' per se, but as a relationship with a higher power...a higher power that is invisible, thus allowing for multiple interpretations to be offered. Fair enough. Your faith is based on truth, and the others just on wacky superstition, right? Dave Van Allen of ExChristian.net joins Danny, Mikyle, and Miles for a discussion on whether one lives a particular lifestyle, or dwells within an al ...

Chapter 23 SummaryPoint to Ponder: If justice is not built into the structure of the universe, then our duty to establish it as best we can here on earth is all the greater. Quote to Remember: ''In this respect fundamentalism has demonic traits. It destroys the humble honesty of the search for truth, it splits the conscience of its thoughtful adherents, and it makes them fanatical because they are forced to suppress elements of truth of which they are dimly aware.''Question to Consider: Why would it be bad t ...

Chapter 22 SummaryPoint to Ponder: Jesus is too important to be left to Christians.Quote to Remember: ''Like beauty, perhaps Jesus is in the eye of the beholder.''

Chapter 21 SummaryPoint to Ponder: It is easy to disguise cowardice as forbearance.Quote to Remember: ''Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out.'' (Proverbs 22:10, NASB)Question to Consider: How do I know whether I ought to consider a troublesome member more like the demoniac in the Capernaum synagogue (Mark 1:23-26), to be expelled, or more like the Lost Sheep (Matthew 18:12-13), to be pursued and persuaded?Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

Chapter 19 SummaryPoint to Ponder: Don't hesitate to request clarification: if you're mystified, chances are most others present are, too. Quote to Remember: ''No one is wrong. At most someone is uninformed. If I think a man is wrong, either I am unaware, or he is. So unless I want to pay a superiority game I had best find out what he is looking at.'' (Hugh Prather, Notes to Myself)Question to Consider: So what if I make a fool of myself?Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

17 - A Place To ConformSpecial Guest: Bob Price! Then Amaziah said to Amos, ''Go, you seer, flee away to the land of Judah and there eat bread and there do your prophesying! But no longer prophesy at Bethel, for it is a sanctuary of the king and a royal residence.'' Then Amos replied to Amaziah, ''I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet for I am a herdsman and a grower of sycamore figs. But the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people in Israel.'' ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Chapter 17 SummaryPoint to Ponder: You have to admire the courage of a radical, not that it makes his opinions correct. Quote to Remember: ''What after all are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of God?'' (Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, 3:125) Question to Consider: Is your church or group on the verge of buying building to meet in?

14 - I Can't Get No Sanctification'' I am convinced that this anxiety running through my life is the tension between what I ''should be'' and what I am. My anxiety does not come from thinking about the future but from wanting to control it. It seems to begin whenever I smuggle an ''I want to become'' into my mind. It is the tension between my desire to control what I will be and the recognition that I can't. ''I will be what I will be''-where is the anxiety in that?'' -Hugh Prather, Notes to Myself So you're ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
chapter 14 summaryPoint to Ponder: Is the Christian life reducible to a kind of fantasy role-playing game inside my head? Quote to Remember: ''Christ's virtue, the virtue of discipleship, can only be accomplished so long as you are entirely unconscious of what your are doing.'' (Diedrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship) Question to Consider: If my Christian experience is a constant struggle of dissatisfaction, frustration, and seeking forgiveness for sin, aren't I being a hypocrite when I witness, tel ...

13 - Worship that Creates GodSpecial Guest: Dan Sawyer! Typical religious belief has us looking up to an independently existing God, and worshiping Him as such. But what if it were really that God is created by your act of worship? Taking this point of view, Dan Sawyer returns to discuss the issue of ''sculpting God'' (something he knows a little about)and Bob Price's thought that perhaps what happens in church is to be taken as literally as the movie you just saw...only without rampaging monsters or scantily clad Spa ...
