Who has the I-Beam DVD and what do you think about it?
Did not Paul imply the responsibility rests on the listener whether they be too lazy to check the claims of the preacher or if they are commendable like the Bereans? I have little sympathy for a disciple who won't turn pages of his Bible to confirm that is indeed what God has said. I know some preachers who can recite many chapters and whole books of the Bible (my son is one) yet they will always hold a Bible in their hands and turn to the passage and read it to the congregation.
I find it interesting that the Bereans were not Spirit-filled Christians when they went to go check the Scriptures. If they were, I wonder if the Spirit within them would have verified Paul's message. Jus' wonderin' is all...
I find it interesting a Spirit-filled Apostle would commend the Bereans for doing so and also bother penning half the New Testament if the filling of the Spirit was adequate to the exclusion of the written Word. Just wonderin; too. [;)]

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying what you think I'm saying...
I'm just wonder if the context of these Bereans NOT being Christians has ever been taken into consideration by those who quote their actions.
Just posting this because some in this thread asked me to. Here's session one of the class. Tried to live stream it but the wifi at the school failed so I just recorded a screencast of my Keynote file and me going over the basics stuff I covered in session one. NOt much meat yet, but here it is.

Thanks Kevin!
Very interesting, Kevin.
Alliteration is good in some sermons, not all. In some is just wise not to use alliteration; especially when you have a J.G. Butler main point like "The Perspiration of the Gospel"
"Perspiration?" really? [:S]
