It is very effective in helping people see their need and the solution God has provided. My big concern is that many of these programs, including Alpha, have an inadequate view of our condition. You say people know they are sinners but I do not think most people understand their true condition, I did not, that they are an enemy of God and spiritually dead.<BR/><BR/>In Christ<BR/>AlanAlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152987444260369287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221001856162126448.post-48820581865563639182008-01-10T07:51:00.000-06:002008-01-10T07:51:00.000-06:00I have heard a lot about the Alpha course over the...I have heard a lot about the Alpha course over the years, but have not had any personal knowledge of its contents. I clicked the link and read with interest what the author had to share.<BR/><BR/>One question I would have for you, is if Alpha is not the best material, what would you suggest as an appropriate alternative? <BR/><BR/>It is one thing to point out others weaknesses and errors, but quite another to put forth better alternatives. I say this because we get a lot of flak for our methods, materials, etc. What I always ask these people is to show us a better way. 9 times out of 10 they can't. All they can do is criticize. That doesn't help. Until someone shows us a better, more effective, efficient way of doing things, we will stick to the light we have been given by the Lord.J.
