Life Is A Mess. And Theology Must

I Was Deepening My Understanding Of What We Call The Cultural Commission, The Command To Take Dominion And Bring Righteousness To Our Culture.

It Would Take A God With Equal Measures Of Truth, Love, And Justice To [give Us A Metanarrative]. Since I Had Abandoned That Faith In God And Considered Myself Secular, That Wasn't A Real Option For Me.

If Our Culture Is To Be Transformed, It Will Happen From The Bottom Up - From Ordinary Believers Practicing Apologetics Over The Backyard Fence Or Around The Barbecue Grill.

Where Is The Hope? I Meet Millions Who Tell Me That They Feel Demoralized By The Decay Around Us. Where Is The Hope? The Hope That Each Of Us Have Is Not In Who Governs Us, Or What Laws Are Passed, Or What Great Things That We Do As A Nation. Our Hope Is In The Power Of God Working Through The Hearts Of People, And That’s Where Our Hope Is In This Country; That’s Where Our Hope Is In Life.

God Doesn't Want Our Success; He Wants Us. He Doesn't Demand Our Achievements; He Demands Our Obedience.
