I can think of several encounters I've had with folks who stated that they "hated error" and their disposition intimated that they "hated" me as well. Great post Randy.

It is not just figuring out all the right answers, it is taking those things and using them to help you become like the one you are following. When the focus is on becoming like Christ, doctrine takes care of itself. You are playing at the very core of what discipleship is all about.

I want people to get into the Word, but I want them to know WHY they are getting into the Word. Not to win arguments and not to know what's "right." I want them to know Jesus better so they can love him more, feel his love more, and be more like him. I’ve been thinking along these lines lately.

Judy: One of our former elders reads these blogs and commented to me yesterday he didn't have any idea who you are, but he sure did appreciate your spirit and your willingness to consider viewpoints that differ from your tradition. Though you don't blog as such, you are having an impact on others by your sweet spirit!

First time, I had it all done, and the pesky word verification made it go away. Then I tried to reconstruct my thoughts and got interrupted by pesky work. Maybe the third time will be a charm. All my profound thoughts have escaped me, so I'll just say that I have tremendous respect for the reformers of old, those in the past and the present who teach and preach to me, and for most of those who hold to the "old paths," as well as those who attempt to propel us forward into new thoughts. I really believe each generation does the best they can do and, for the most part, that it is all done with the sincerest of hearts and best of intentions. I have tried now 3 times to post a comment.
