This is rattling around in my head right now. If you have the conclusive (or even a good guess) let me know.
- At what point do we, in the church, get truly serious about weighing all scripture through the person of Jesus Christ? Isn’t He the resting place for all of our conclusions and approaches to living and loving?
- Will we ever break away from our proclivity to proof-text our rationales for war, propagating poverty and elevating our spheres of concern over above the needs of those who fall outside of those spheres? God commanding war in the OT is not a good enough reason for me to blindly embrace armed conflict today.
- What moral obligation do I have to reduce poverty and be a voice for the least of these? How far-reaching is that? How much does that affect what I buy, where I shop, etc?
- Could it be that we have completely blown Romans 13 out of proportion and twisted it completely into an unrecognizable form from its original intent?
- What does a true ethic of life consist of? How can I be pro-life and accept the needless death of any individual?
- When did faith get confused with certainty on every moral question?
- If the greatest commandments are all that, shouldn’t we be focusing a whole lot more on what it means to love God and love people?
- Can we lay aside our personal disgust on sins that particularly rankle us to have an open discussion about the true make-up of sinful behavior?
- Have we so marginalized women in the church that they have no outlet for their gifts and talents? If so, when do we emerge from our patriarichal stone-age?
- Is there a cure for the frustrations I feel? I’m not getting much sleep right now.
Maybe you can see why I’ve steered more toward humor and such lately. I have to get out of my head.
Any thoughts?
