“The Silencing of God”
In the auditorium class, we have been walking
through the words written by John for some time.
We have completed the Gospel according to John,
and we are finishing a series on 1, 2, and 3 John. As
of this writing, I do not know if we have completed
that series, or if we have one more week to finish.
When that series ends, we will be taking a 5 week
break. Our class will continue to meet, but we will be
watching a series of lessons by brother Dave Miller
entitled “The Silencing of God.” Each lesson takes
us back to the Founding Fathers, and their desire for
this to be a Christian nation.
The class I teach on Sunday morning watched this
series of lessons about 18 months ago and found the
series to be helpful and very informative. Dr. Miller
does a great job of presenting the facts without being
too political; focusing, instead on the Founders and
their speeches and documents.
