		<title>Week 8 (April 25) Discussion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Myth: Pentecostals/Charismatics are a fringe group within Christianity

The Question: What is normal Christian life and practice?


The Problem: The global explosion of Christianity over the last 110 years has grown with Pentecostal revival, not cessationist doctrine/practice.


The Informing Text: Acts 2:38; Acts 1:8


The Big Idea: The cessationist view of a huge Laodecean deception (dispensationalist church age doctrine) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week 7 (April 18) Discussion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Myth: Churchless Christianity is healthy/normal

The Question: I don&#8217;t have to go to church to be saved, right? And church is all messed up, so why go?


The Problem: Everyone else is doing it. Not only are people leaving churches, but lots of books are being written from Christian authors about how it&#8217;s the thing to do.

		<title>Week 6 (April 11) Discussion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oops. I forgot that our group will not be meeting on Easter Sunday. The post below is for April 11. It&#8217;s been two weeks since we&#8217;ve been able to meet. I&#8217;m looking forward to getting back together with everyone. Our myth that we are discussing this time around is perhaps the one that fosters the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just kidding
Actually, last week&#8217;s discussion (our best so far, methinks) was just getting rolling when we ran out of time, so we&#8217;ll continue with the same topic this week.  I&#8217;m learning a lot and I&#8217;m also learning a lot about all of you.  BTW: if any of you have any information on our topic that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week 4 (March 14) Discussion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Myth:    Angels &#38; Demons &#8211; We&#8217;re past that aren&#8217;t we? 

The Question: Are angels &#38; demons just a personification of good &#38; evil, or are they real entities? What are 21st century Christians to believe?


The Problem: Modernism: a leftover worldview from the enlightenment period based on rationalism


The Informing Text: Luke 4:40-41


The Big Idea: The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Myth: Ouch! It Hurts So I&#8217;m Not In God&#8217;s Will 

The Question: If you are in pain, are you out of God&#8217;s Will? Is it really that simple? Is it a lack of faith?


The Problem: To be a servant of God we must at some point be served a cup of pain.


The Informing Text: Luke [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week 2 (Feb 28) Discussion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Myth: Religion Saves

The Question: Is there a difference between what the Bible says and your personal convictions?
The Problem: Not being true to our own beliefs.
The Informing Text: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13
The Big Idea: Personal convictions &#8211; are your standards higher/lower than Jesus&#8217; standards?

This week we&#8217;ll continue with last week&#8217;s discussion as we dive into the first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week One (Feb 21) discussion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anatomy of A Christian Myth

The Question: How do religious myths get started anyway &#38; what&#8217;s the big deal?
The Problem: If religious people are getting it wrong, others will miss out on reality.
The Informing Text: In Luke 4, Jesus preaches a sermon in the town where he grew up, attacking the racism, self-righteousness, &#38; nationalism of [...]]]></description>
