"Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going
to proclaim to you."
Acts 17:22-23
With those words the Apostle Paul connected Grecian culture to the God of the Bible, won the attention of his unbelieving audience and the opportunity to proclaim Christ. Scripture tells us that some of them sneered, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this subject.
Wish kids wanted to hear more about the Bible?
Want young people to take the Gospel seriously?
Begin with the music, film, sports, art and culture so many already “worship” and show them how it reveals God’s truth. That’s the message of a new book called The Day Metallica Came to Church by pastor John Van Sloten.
According to Van Sloten, since all truth belongs to God, God can speak to us through anything and everything, including heavy metal music, R-rated films, sports, and even the latest fashions.
This book might just change the way you hear God's voice and perceive culture and it could revolutionize your ability to reach young people with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
