Tom: Thanks, Gary, and thanks to all of you for joining us for this segment of Search the Scriptures Daily. Our title, by the way, comes from the Bible itself, the book of Acts 17:11. The apostle Paul had just entered the city of Berea in the country of Greece, and he was preaching among the Jews there who were commended for listening to the apostle’s teaching, and more specifically for searching the Scriptures daily to find out whether or not what he had to say was true. That’s our exhortation and encouragement to our listeners. There seems to be no end to the religious ideas one can hear these days, whether in the name of Christianity or otherwise, and it’s to everyone’s welfare, both temporal and eternal, to check things out for themselves.
Which brings us to our topic today: chapter 5 of Dave Hunt’s book, An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith, is entitled, “Shortcut to Truth.” Dave, a critical concern of your book is that most people don’t put much time, thought, or preparation into where they will spend eternity. Their faith is more like wishful thinking than something based upon reason or evidence. As a matter of fact, you have a pretty stunning quote in the chapter. You say, “The beliefs of many religious people are little more than sanctified superstitions.”
