upgrade
Just an FYI the theme will be the basic blue/white until we upgrade it to support the latest WordPress (which we are running).
In addition, many of the plugins will be disabled until we upgrade them.

slow down
I apologize for the lack of new posts lately, however, I have been overloaded on the “work” side of things.
New posts will be slow until I can get caught up.

comments
Just an FYI.
There was a small technical problem with the comments and the moderator was not getting notified that comments were waiting.
All the comments that were queued up have been cleared though, sorry for the delay.
In addition, we updated the Scripture links so if you happen to reference verses in your comments, a box should popup with the verses you referenced when you hover you mouse over the link.
unfounded Christian arrogance
It has been a while since I have posted. Actually, it has been a while since I have had a chance to catch up on some blog reading.
Jumping right into it I came across something I really had to comment on.
…and that is…
…the arrogance that some Christians seem to have on their positions. It is the “I am right (or we are right) and everyone else is wrong” position. Now, I will say that this is more typically exhibited in younger Christians, however, I find it amazing how arrogant someone can be about their position on a particular subject that isn’t clear cut in the Scripture. This position may be clear in their small mind, but it is far from “clear”. They are arrogant enough to throw out 100’s of years of Christian writing, thought, and debate on the subject matter. Just so I don’t lose you… you can take a look at some of the comments on this post. I will quote an example comment below. I should clarify that I think the Scripture is the only authoritive source when it comes to these matters.
And yes, if one will take scripture as final authority, Calvinism cannot be refuted.
That statement speaks for itself.
I believe there are some things in the Scripture that are clear, however, much of God’s Word is not totally clear (and rightfully so). That is the very reason there is such a diverse landscape in Christendom. It is our job to constantly immerse ourselves in God’s Word and in prayer so that we may discern the truth in all things. We must be willing to accept the fact that we may be wrong in some of our positions and if Scripture dictates it we must be willing to change our position.
I have said it before and I will say it again. We should not come to the Word of God looking to prove our position. We should humbly come to the Word of God looking to let the Word of God create/mold/shape our position.
