The Truth Project

We made it through “The Truth Project”. Except this set is missing lessons 10 and 11. I believe we saw number 10 at the fellowship during a second service. Number six on history and the one on the State are worth the time of the series alone. To show that if your U.S. history is manipulated, changed, you can then be taken captive through hollow philosophies…easily. To show in one hour how our State/Nation will tend to grow and try to control everything was masterful. Plus it showed from scripture how the State must submit to God and his word, that is a shocker for most evangelicals!

The Truth Project grabs the modern evangelical and tries to get us to see that we have been missing some big areas of understanding. The size and magnitude of the error is staggering. You have to start somewhere. But this DVD series stayed on the big picture items and it is the basic areas, the little foxes, that are just killing us! The big areas are impossible to fix, if you don’t first have Gods understanding for the individual, which then lets you build the family Gods way, only then can the Church be as God wants it to function. Then you are ready to have a Nation , whose God is the Lord. An awful lot of the big problems get taken care of along the way.

Gods method is always to establish or correct the basic areas. If you dont get this part right then always, always you will have well meaning individuals and institutions trying to fix what are obvious problems. But they are problems that can only be fixed by those within that jurisdiction, so if the church tries to make up and address issues within the family, if the magistrate tries to fix problems in the church or if the church tries to to do the magistrates job (Salem witch trials) , all that gives you is, Super Uzzahs, all over the place, getting cursed instead of blessed for trying to do what we think is the right thing. But when you attempt to do anything, even good things, apart from Gods way, you get, even more problems.

It was fitting, at the end, when the tour guide says “I don’t know what you should do, now that you have seen this”…. “ you need to ask God” Because after twelve weeks of lessons the modern evangelical is left with a view of the family that was the same as it started. I.E. that the family is a group of individuals that God has no unifying vision and purpose for. Or that it is part of Gods solution for the truths that we're presented. The individual is allowed to keep his autonomy, to do pretty much as they wish, which is what got us to where we are at.

The viewer is left with himself, to find out what God wants you to do, as an individual. The State, the Church, Family, the individual are Gods creations. Only when viewed and submitting to Gods terms and definitions will they not be self destructive. Right now all four are seen and acted upon as a part of the Americana experience. The culture has a bigger determanitive influence on them than Gods word. (Part of Robs message)

Everyone who has taken that course should be given Sprouls new book. Sprouls Book is about having a biblical worldview when you look at you, your family, The church, the State.

I am serious here, in my humble opinion, Gods Kingdom would be able to advance further and faster if everyone would have read Sprouls book instead. Sproul repeated back what God says about the basic areas, this is like his life message I think, so he has gotten pretty good at saying it consisely and powerfully over time! “Bound for Glory” c2008
