5. Little Flower Men’s Night
Reflection . . .
Don’t start with the “infield fly rule”
Don’t dumb it down, keep it substantive
Preach with missionary ardor. Proclaim the Resurrection “with fire”
Tell the Great Story. Jesus is the fullfilment of Israel. If you don’t get Israel, you won’t get Jesus.
Augustinian Idea. We’re wired (hunger and thirst) for God. Secularism is “soul destroying” (wealth, pleasure, honor, power)
God doesn’t need us. Our world has been “loved into being”
Use the new media. Counter atheism movement

6. Other opportunities to
deepen our faith . . .
