This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.
A community that loves, challenges, explores and supports as its members explore their faith and apply it to their lives. If it can only be built on one thing then I would say love.
A church that evolves and grows with it's members.
Like evolution can be rough and disturbing at times, a church community should tear down walls of rightousness and rebuild with a sense of humility and love drawn only to the hope of a life everlasting with no guarantees, and with a lot of faith.
It builds a community with very little expectations and with a lot of guidance. A church built on logic and love WOULD change it's community for the best.
