a shared opinion from rachel held evans

i don't do this a lot
perhaps i need to more ...

the article that follows
is another voice in the call fro change

often i am vilified
and vilify myself
for being too critical
too calling-out people
too passionate in my desire for change ...

and then i am reminded by an article like this
that we are more than me

thank God

enjoy the read ...

book recommendation

i highly recommend the following book ...

it is a current review
of the different theological positions
on 17 main 'evangelical' issues
(eg. The Lord's Supper debate: the spiritual presence view, and the memorial view)

it is fairly presented
the authors acting as defendants for each side of the issue, no evident bias

it is an excellent work
worthy of your attention
(you can choose the chapters/issues you want to explore)

very good for small group type study

peace

'cept he does a much better job
in so many fewer words
even in an ad.
