I have had two great conversations in the last week.
The first was with Dan and Steve in the kitchen at Riv. We were talking about how our “cultural envelope” always affects our perception of things, as well as often affecting our theology, etc. Two people can go to the same conference or read the same book or whatever and have drastically different opinions. These two people often have the same passion for Christ and are both earnestly seeking to do his will, and yet they are diametrically different in so many arenas. They are both sincere, they both try to apply the word to their lives, etc. And yet here they stand, on the opposite side of issues. It makes me want to learn how to be a man who stands with conviction, but not dogmatism on issues. BTW, the best example I have ever seen in this is my friend Herschel. I am so excited that he is speaking for a session at this year’s HSLT.
The second conversation was with a bunch of the leader types at Riv this morning. We talked about the church’s mission in the world and about we often miss it and camp on the wrong things. We also debated the nuances of this and I was encouraged to see both that we are all thinking about these things and that even in the midst of minor disagreements, we can stay united. Kinda goes back to the first conversation.
