Finished Reading “Heretics”

  "G. K. Chesterton, the "Prince of Paradox," is at his witty best in this collection of twenty essays and articles from the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on  "heretics" - those who pride themselves on their superiority to Christian views - Chesterton appraises prominent figures who fall into that category from the literary and art worlds... those who hold incomplete and inadequate views about "life, the universe, and everything." He is, in short, criticizing all that host of non-Christian views of reality, as he demonstrated in his follow-up book Orthodoxy. The book is both an easy read and a difficult read. But he manages to demonstrate, among other things, that our new 21st century heresies are really not new because he himself deals with most of them." (Goodreads)

Check your . . .

Have you checked the oil in your car?
The air pressure in the tires?
The weather?
The news?

Is everything in order?
Ever run a check on your god?

  • Has your god created man on the earth or done anything like that?
  • Has any people heard the voice of your god from the midst of the fire and survived?
  • Has your god tried to take for himself a nation from within another nation?
  • Has your god shown his might and power as God did in Egypt before so many witnesses?
  • Has your god been heard from heaven?
  • Has your god disciplined you because he loves you, as a father loves his children?
  • Has your god driven out nations before his people?
  • Has your god given you an inheritance?
  • Has your god given commandments, that it may go well with you and with your children, that you may live long?

(Deuteronomy 4:32-40)
