it’s a three page introduction to the book but it’s worth it’s own blog. how on earth was this book formulated? well, mark driscoll was preaching through the book of 1 corinthians in a sermon series called, “christians gone wild.” note to self: a catchy sermon title like that probably will get people in the door. mark driscoll noticed that in the letter to the corinthian church, paul answered a lot of their questions. but how often does the church answer the questions of people? questions they really want answers to. sadly, this doesn’t happen very often.
mars hills church’s answer to this problem was genius. they opened up a page on their website for people to ask questions, comment on questions, and vote for the answers they would like to see in the sermon series. “And in the end, 893 questions were asked, 5,524 comments were made, and 343,203 votes were cast.”
another genius thing at mars hill church was an experiment with live questions from people in the late Sunday evening service. those people were able to anonymously text message questions. having no time to prep, mark driscoll would answer those on the spot.
and so the blog series has begun.
9 “religious” questions and the answers. but before you read the upcoming blogs and are under 18 (i have no idea who reads this blog), get your parents’ permission. three of the chapters are about sex.... yes I said that word.
lastly, i leave you with a quote that i’m curious if you agree or disagree.
“Religious people are prone to go beyond the teaching of the Bible to argue for positions that are not clearly taught in Scripture. They are further prone to go beyond the biblical principles on these issues and seek to impose their method on others, as if they are alone are truly biblical. Religious people tend to have very strong and vocal opinions about the issues we will examine.”
