The vacation, the shock afterwards, the busyness of the holidays....all these have served to keep me from my reading (for the most part). Anyway, I'd been reading "A Generous Orthodoxy - Brian McLaren" during my lunch times...today I decided to pick it back up....here's an excerpt from today's reading...
"...I believe that we must be always reforming, not because we've got it wrong and we're closer and closer to finally "getting it right," but because our mission is ongoing and our context is dynamic. From this viewpoint "getting it right" is beside the point; the point is "being and doing good" as followers of Jesus in our unique time and place, fitting in with the ongoing story of God's saving love for planet earth."
Like water to parched lips... (if you disagree, that's ok!)
Posted by ed | TrackBackI am far to agreeable a person to disagree with you '-) It is so true what you quoted. It ties in with what was discussed in our small group last night about walking right with God and being humble ... knowing that no matter how right we think we've got it ... we still have work to do
Posted by: IanEventually, you'll have to read this book, definite read for someone young enough in their faith not to have everything figured out, but mature enough to want to grow. Love you friend, even if you did disagree occasionally.
Posted by: edI'll look for the book and the love is mutual.
