One of the most important theological events of our time is unfolding today, a rediscovery of the nature of God. The rediscovery is emerging out of a debate among evangelicals that will have consequences for generations to come. It is also a personal rediscovery, helping me decide in a fresh way what it means to be a Christian.
I'm a retired pastor, and even though I try to keep up with significant trends, I frankly wasn't aware of the specific debate, although I am conscious of the decline of disciplined thinking in the Church today -- an existential concern to biblical thinkers.
Don't take it personally, but I didnt know of your writing until a friend sent me this post that a friend had sent to him. That has all changed: I just subscribed. Thanks so much for your thoughts.
Crises, personally or beyond, are so frequently the spring boards God uses to get us to dive more deeply into Himself through Scripture.
So good to hear [sic] your thoughts, Matt!

You helped Paul and I survive a similar crisis 12 years ago. Scraped bare, we rediscovered the God of the Scriptures, and hope.
Thank you, Laurie! "Scraped bare" is an apt description of where so many are right now.
