Because of this, I've been in church recently, and I've been giving regular reports on the blog about what that is like, it's quite an experience. It's given me quite a bit of personal experience in refreshing my memory about fundamentalist beliefs and lifestyle.
In the churches of some denominations, including the one this church belongs to, they use materials from the Christian bookstore chain Lifeway for their Sunday School classes, especially one book series called Masterwork. There's a workbook for each season, and the one for winter 2012-13 is pictured on your left here.They have material in the book for you to read, along with Bible verses they want you to read as well. Each day has it's own reading material in the book, with questions they want you to think about and write in your own answers. The questions/answers are about your own "spiritual walk", and your personal experiences as a Christian (if you are one still, unlike me).
Various ministers and authors write for this publication, and there are two authors/ themes for each book. One of the two authors for this season is Micheal Catt, pastor of Sherwood Baptist church in Albany Georgia. His church has become well known in fundamentalist circles for producing movies, such as Facing the Giants, about a high school football team.
I'm reading one of the lesson plans for the day, written by him, when I saw this on day three of their material for the week of January 13th (block quote text is the book. Normal text is my response):
"Surrender begins in the heart. Revival begins in the church. We cannot point fingers at the Devil's crowd because Jesus has given us everything necessary to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil"
