Those pesky Bible stories sure can be dry, boring and irrelevant. Unbelievers now-a-days prefer the stories in popular movies over the dusty tales of Holy Writ. Isn’t there some way that we can teach 'spirituality' without having to bore people by actually opening the Bible?
Answer: Absolutely! From one of America’s most liberal seminaries, the one that has been teaching its students to ‘de-mythologize the Bible using ‘higher criticism’ for the last 4 decades, comes a “Bible Study” guide that will allow progressive and hip pastors to teach about God’s Word without actually having to open the Bible. This new ‘Bible Study’ is sooooo kewl that it allows pastors to plumb the spiritual depths of that new fountain of spiritual truth, Spiderman 3. (We bet you didn’t even know that Spiderman 3 was a Christian allegory. That’s okay. Neither did we.)
If you take the time to download and read the Spiderman 3 Bible Study Guide, you'll find it is REALLY lite on the scriptures but heavy on 'behavior modification' and the Spiderman 3 story line. Oh, and Jesus isn't mentioned even once in this "Bible Study". (Even Spiderman is a sinner who needs Jesus' mercy and forgiveness). It's as if those folks at Fuller believe that any story can teach us how to be spiritual. It doesn't matter if it is in the Bible or even if the story is true. (That's the problem with the liberals at Fuller, they don't actually believe the Bible is historically accurate.)
One of our problems today is we feel we know longer need expository Bible teaching. Maybe we should just do 'spiritual' movie reviews every sunday at church instead of having a sermon.
If this is what the church has come to, we think it's time to dust off that old 'Titanic Bible Study' because it sure looks like the Christian church is about to sink into the depths.

You see this is why I see that God has opened the door for TRUTH MATTERS a ministry to bring the Truth of God's Word to the world and stand with the Churches and Pastor's who are out thier day after day preaching the Truth.
You see we are fighting for Certainty in an Age of Deception.

Amen to that!
I didn't know that about Spiderman either - although I never thought it to be pleasing to God. We are truly at a time of seeker friendlyism.
We need a Reformation and I am thankful for those who are bold, brave, and zealous enough to stand up for what really matters-
THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD!!!
