Does anyone have any experience or knowledge concerning a popular teaching that is informally presented under the title of, 'Christianity Explored'? Is it anything like 'Experiencing God'? I know I'm not up on what the latest 'moves' or whatever of the established religious community, but I am interested in learning about this teaching/study presentation.

Six years ago I became involved in a study group and the material was called,'Experiencing God', written by a Canadian man named Henry Blackaby (a Baptist) in 1990 and was fairly solid, considering he didn't have The Baptism of The Holy Spirit. I was asked to help lead the study group and share what The Lord had revealed to me along my Christian walk...They were nice, but when I got started talking about actually believing what The Word said, their eyes glazed over and there was a lot of shifting around in the seats, and the attendance fell off pretty fast.

Anyway, the reason I ask is this, I saw a banner at the entrance gates where I live anouncing that there would be a 'Christianity Explored' class given in our clubhouse starting July 6, lasting 10 weeks. I went to a web site and read their mission and what they believed/doctrinal statement, and it was very sound. I thought it might be an open door to share with some neighbors...( we have about 800-1,000 people living in this gated community) I spoke with the property manager today about it to see if it was still on, because I noticed over the weekend that the banner was gone. She informed me that there had been complaints about 'religion' and a banner with a cross on it; saying it wasn't right to push christianity upon those who didn't believe in it.( yep, political correctness alive and well right here in the bible belt) I asked how many complained and was told just a few, but that it was taken down so as not to offend them. Rolling Eyes Yeah, I asked if we had been bought out by the government or something, and was now under the guidelines that applied to all federal building and property...and could I still pray before I went to bed...I know, I can't help being a smart aleck at times.

I just wondered if anyone knows anything about it and could give me a heads-up. If not I guess I'll be checking it out for myself...
