Document Summary
What is the gospel: the resurrection is key, we cannot forget it in our telling of the gospel, every telling of the gospel needs to be filtered through the word of god, be aware of false gospels. It is easy to confess things but you need to repent from them and turn from them. The preaching of the kingdom gospel, the eternal focus of being forever reconciled to our creator. Sociology = influential forces shaping peoples" lives: social options determined in the past, molded by current social structures and forces. Critical thinking is not optional in sociology: fighting against over-simplified sociological notions, ask any question-how difficult is irrelevant, be open to any answer backed up by answer and reason. Rudeness of sociology: exploring controversial problems creates controversy, bringing problems into better focus, people become attached and create emotional bonds to social convention.
