There is truth to be announced. If you start losing that, you really step outside what Christianity is. The gospel is something to be taught and to be believed. It is not something simply to be experienced.

Hi, Chuck - the dangerous part here is pitting one side against the other. It's not either believe or experience; it's a both/and proposition if it's meaningful at all, isn't it? The Gospel - "the kingdom of God is at hand" - is something to be lived out, I think. When Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life" - there's something more relational and interactive about that maybe. Truth isn't simply belief - it's the person of Jesus, subjective as any relationship might be.
Ooops! I had found this quote and wanted to write about it today. I thought I had saved this as a draft. Ha.
Hate when that happens.
When are you guys coming to SC? Gotta keep my calendar clear for the macchiato, sir.
