Choosing To Remember

I want to reissue some thoughts from years past as I think that they have aged well over the years.  

Truly important thoughts take time. As one reflects on Scripture again and again, and, then looks at the world we live in, we are hopefully more clearly taught by the Spirit, not simply the information, but also a greater degree of understanding about the information. 

Knowledge and wisdom are meant to go hand and hand together. I pray that this is progressively true for all of us who follow Jesus, each in the journey of faith that the Spirit has designed. 

If I could make it easier to cooperate with the Spirit in this daily adventure of listening and learning, I would gladly do so. But the process of spiritually maturing and the uniqueness of each one’s earthly journey with the Spirit makes this impossible. As I said in a recent blog, it takes time to read, think and reflect. And, so I want to reissue an older blog, with a new introduction from David Wells. 

“Faith is the recognition of God’s holiness. Theology is dying because the Church has lost its capacity for it. It is a sign of creeping death. If the Church can begin to find a place for theology by refocusing itself on the centrality of God, if it can rest upon his sufficiency, if it can recover its moral fiber, then it will have something to say to a world now drowning in modernity.”

(“No Place for Truth Or Whatever Happened to Evangelical Theology?” By David F. Wells, pp. 298-301)

“Theological amnesia that results in national disaster.”(Paul House)

When George Bush was President of the United States he named several nations in the world as an axis of evil. Many, mocked him. I don’t question that the nations he named were generators of acts of evil against their own people and also against other nations.
