Thanks for the tip from my buddy Jeff Henderson (http://blog.buckheadchurch.org/) on this fantastic post by Perry Noble – http://www.perrynoble.com/2008/12/10/five-arguments-you-just-cant-win-part-two/
We hear this on occasion at North Point, and especially from those opposed to using video messages in church. Simple fact of the matter is Christ wants to be understood by everyone. When He did teach, He always took care to put his words and examples in contexts that could be understood by his audience.
Besides, the next time someone asks you about going deeper, here’s a good question for them: “Can you tell me someone you’re investing in who’s not a Christian or just recently crossed the line of faith?” I usually find that the folks clamoring to go “deep” aren’t in close proximity to anyone relationally who is actually trying to figure out who God is or are seeking Him.
You want to go “deep”? You can’t go any deeper than having the pleasure of explaining the reality of Christ in your own life or helping someone else discover it for themselves. That’ll activate your faith like nothing else.
