Disciple Dojo

There are some Christians who self-identify as "Red Letter" Christians...meaning, they seek to follow the literal words of Jesus. But do they actually? Here is a friendly critique of the underlying assumptions of RLC and the potential danger of embracing such an approach.

For those who have ever wondered what Akira Kurosawa's epic "The Seven Samurai" and Christian ministry have in common...here you go!

If you saw the documentaries "Religulous" or "Zeitgeist" you are familiar with the alleged parallels between Jesus and prior mythological figures. Or ARE you...?? Bookmark and share this quick Dojo Discussion the next time someone confronts you with "proof" that Jesus was just another copy of countless mythical figures in history.

Many people know about the famous "TULIP" acronym that summarizes the 5-Points of Calvinism...but is that really the best way to summarize what the Bible actually teaches on God, Sin, and Salvation? In this Dojo Discussion, we suggest another version of TULIP that is more perhaps more faithful to the full witness of Scripture. Take a listen and see what you think.
