Evaluating 40 Days of Community

The following are my thoughts on this book and video series by Rick Warren. My intent in writing these articles is not to be divisive, but to live out 1 Thess 5:21-22: "But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil." My challenge to you is to judge for yourself according to scripture whether or not what I am saying is true. If I misrepresent anything Rick Warren states or say anything that is untrue, please correct me. God bless!

Is 'Preaching God's Love' in Acts?

I think we all want to get back to following the example of the early church as documented in the book of Acts. I certainly do. Is it true, then, that the evangelistic preaching of the Apostles as recorded in Acts emphasized one's love relationship with God and personal life enhancement? If not, did these disciples of Christ focus on something else? This is directly applicable to our discussion here because it demonstrates a commonly held misunderstanding about how the early church reached the lost.
