I so love your blog!
The old, ever-n...Oh Hayley,<br />I so love your blog! <br />The old, ever-new question: what's the relationship between reason and faith? Both are gifts from God, aren't they? One given by the creator at birth, the other given at the new birth.<br />Christianity involves propositional truth but only God can convince of sin and man's need of a Savior. So, we communicate the truth of the gospel (hopefully our lives give it a ring of authenticity) and trust God to draw sinners unto Himself.<br /><br />The problem with the emergent church is that for all the emphasis on community and conversation, they have forgotten that we really have good news that can transform a life and give meaning to the journey. It is the objective truth of a Creator/Redeemer that provides the framework for the human trajectory, not fuzzy communion with lost travelers . . . going nowhere. However, there is much encouragement and strength to be found in honest interaction with fellow rescued pilgrims.<br /><br />Looking forward to the Veritas forum . . . hope to be there with several young people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
