| Values
of Manna Monday:
First- Biblical
Christianity is true- not just a way of life, not one more
religious option or one more spiritual experience but the
truth. Therefore we discuss questions and problems throughly
rather than urging people to believe unconditionally. If
Christianity is true it can be known and practiced without
comitting intellecutal suicide or simply having to say 'just
believe'
Second-Christianity
shows us the way the world really is. What the Bible teaches
is the way things really are. If this is true than Christianity
can be rationally defended and shown to be objectively true
(TRUE TRUE) not just feelings and experiences.
Third- If
Christianity is true, it is relevant to all of life not
just some "religious area." Thus Chrisitianity
as a worldview has implications for the arts, the sciences,
politics, economics, psycology etc. We seek to develop a
Christian mind and biblical perspective in all areas.
Fourth-
If Christianity is 'the truth' it will stand up to investigation
and provide satisfactory answers and on this basis your
questions will be taken seriously and addressed honestly.
Fifth- Manna
Monday is not a place for "intellectuals only".
God exists not only through the life of the mind but through
the realtiy of changed lives and answered prayer. So while
we will certainly try to make you think we understand that
true spirituality is seen in lives which by grace are free
to be fully human rather than in trying to live on some
higher spiritual plane or in some grey negative way.
