Some more food for your mind

For those of you who like to think seriously about reality, God, His Kingdom, discipleship and tough questions here are some great online recordings from Dallas Willard that I think you will find very helpful:

Audio recordings on www.discipleshiplibrary.com:

The list of recordings is found here.  They are not necessarily grouped in series or in order but you should be able to figure it out from the titles.


Video of a question and answer session with John Ortberg:

Can Smart People Believe in God?

...That's what John Ortberg wants to know. So on the weekend of December 12-13, John asked Dallas a variety of tough questions about this topic during the worship services at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church. They talked about different questions at each of four services, and the combined Q&A is available on video on the MPPC web site HERE

Some people (myself included) have issues with Willards message. With these issues in mind, do you think we should be promoting him?

Here is a Christian radio segment addressing this particular interview of Dallas Willard by John Ortberg. The host, accurately addresses several of the doctrinal/biblical shortcomings and falsehoods of Dallas’s position, and where appropriate, examines Willards statements in the light of Scripture.

You may not be a fan of the style of delivery but I urge you to listen to the content rather than being distracted by the vessel.

After listening to the radio segment, it is apparent to me that the person has misunderstood what Dallas Willard was saying. I would refer people who want to make further enquiries to undertake a careful reading of Chapter 7 of 'Knowing Christ Today'. In that chapter he clearly addresses issues raised by the radio commentator. It is available through the church office.
