the point of our new series in the gathering, my problem with religion

"The final problem is not to prove men wrong, but to win them back to Christ. Therefore, the only ultimate successful apologetic is, first, a clear, intellectual statement of what is wrong with the false doctrine, plus a clear, intellectual return to the proper scriptural emphasis, in all its vitality and in its relation to the total Christian faith, plus a demonstration in the life that this correct and vital scriptural emphasis meets the genuine needs and aspirations of men in a way that Satan's counterfeit does not."..........Francis Schaffer

we purpose to do three things:
(1) expose what is false
(2) set forth what is true
(3) though imperfect, seek to be a community that is living proof that the gospel makes beautiful human beings.
