Thinking Christian

"We are called to demonstrate, in word and deed, in all areas of life, what God’s Kingdom is supposed to be like"

Is it possible that we are raising up a new generation of Christians that have cast aside easy believism, seeker sensitivity and playing church? I sure hope so. May your daughter lead us out of our lethargy!

and I love "call on Christians to engage God’s world"

In our education we need to seek the deeper meaning of all things which ultimately is found in Christ. Faith and reason complement each other; the light of faith guides our reason to seek out a deeper understanding of the Truth and reason explores this Truth, and if used properly, leads back full-circle to the transcendent One who is All Truth.

Our knowledge should be applied to building up God's kingdom and serving our neighbour through acts of charity.

God Bless,

"the more one knows about God’s creation, the more there is to glorify God about."

For instance, having a thorough knowledge of evolutionary biology provides a whole complex of reasons to glorify God. Someday Richard Dawkins will catch on to this, in the meantime, those who know the truth need not fear his well-intentioned science fiction.

The greatest commandment is this: love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. --Some Guy from 1st Century Palestine (emphasis added)

Actually, Yehoshua ben-Yosef was quoting from a Jewish sage named Hillel, which doesn't make it any less true or valid, but that position had been around for a few centuries already.

I recently saw a church sign that read "Pray More, Think Less." What a tragedy. I wanted to change it to "Pray More, Think More." Thanks for an insightful blog.
