No Comments on "broken orthodoxy begets ugly orthopraxy…"
What an interesting article. First, I want to apologize for coming across as unloving in my last post, for I did not have that intention at all; I tend to get a little passionate about this kind of stuff.
It’s a constant temptation for all people to fall to one side or another and become extreme, and it’s always a fight to stay toward the middle and find the balance.
Some churches tend to fall too far on the condemnation of sin side, and others tend to fall too far on the love and acceptance side. I know that you’ll agree that we need both of these, biblically, and that balance is very difficult to obtain. When I began to understand that I am equally fallen as the worst of sinners, I began to more fully appreciate the grace of God in saving one who does not at all deserve Him.
I came across a quote the other day, but for not writing it down, forgot who said it: A mind should be open for the same reason a mouth should be open: to close on something good. It was something like that, anyway. I just don’t think it’s palatable to say that we can’t know what is good, so just chew on anything.
