homecoming week-Andy Braner chapel

hey bloggers, here's a blog about Andy Braner.  He's been teaching in chapel for the past homecoming week. He runs a Christian camp called camp Kivu. u can check it out at http://www.campkivu.com/.

Here r some important points that he made:
There are two groups of people: "how" people and "why" people. "How" people are ur scientists who try to figure out how things work. "Why" people are ur philosophers who try to figure out why things work. Andy Braner is a "why".

He also said we should ask the question, "What do I believe?" Ask yourself, "how do i know God is real?" There are two types of truths:
I. Subjective Truth

II. Objective Truth

Subjective Truth is basically our opinion. i.e., is it true that country music sucks and rock music rocks? In my opinion I think so, but not everyone does. Objective Truth is what we know is true.

There are three divisions of religion with their own Objective Truths:
Hindus - worship creation and not the Creator.
Bhudist - worship themselves
Christianity - worship God


And finally, he said that Genesis 1:1 is the main establishment of our belief.  Because if Genesis 1:1 is off, then the whole Bible is off, if you think about it.  So basically, our whole belief is based on Genesis 1:1.


We had a lot of fun this homecoming week, and learned a lot too.  Remember to check out the website at the top.  See ya!!!!:)
