A New Book

I love to read and spend more on books than I should. Perhaps that is a curse. I don't know. I do know that the reading I've done over the years has opened World's to me I did not know existed. As a Christian I have been introduced to areas of worship that opened vistas of grandeur that my "Fundamentalist" upbringing was afraid to admit existed.

Agreeing to disagree?

I read this excerpt on Dr. James Galyon's site 2 Worlds Collide:

Johnny Hunt notes in the foreword to the book Whosoever Will: A Biblical Theological Critique of Calvinism,  “As Baptists, we all know that we have Calvinists and non-Calvinists within our ranks. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is highly exalted when we can acknowledge our differences but join hands around a gospel-centered message to proclaim its truth to the nations.”  He adds, “What I have come to love most about theology is the capacity to agree to disagree but to do it in the spirit of Christ.”

Home Depot

I read a headline this morning that I have to post just so I don't forget it.

Home Depot Theology: You can do it; We can help!

To my mind that pretty much sums up what is so wrong about so much in the church today. In too many instances God appears to be thrown in as an after thought to rationalize why we do what we do.

I could go on, but I won't. I think those who read this blog know what I am talking about.
