Revisiting "The End of the Spear"
Last week, I posted some thoughts and some articles on The End of the Spear. This produced some very interesting discussion and sparked some heated controversy on other blogs. I did not intend for it to create such a stir, nor to have so many people upset at me. I was hoping to give people facts and food for thought and then let you pray and seek the Lord as to what is best for you. I believe that, as Christians, we need to be discussing these types of things in this day and age -- as long as our discussions are spurring each other on towards Godliness and holiness and not done with malice or ill-will. We must constantly be holding everything up in the light of Scripture.
I received an email today from someone with a link to a few articles that had further information which discredited some of the things I orginally had linked to. Since I want to always do my best to share the truth, I feel it is necessary to encourage you to read Jason Janz' follow-up article where he shares how some of what he had written was incorrect.
I also encourage you to read this rather lengthy article by Randy Alcorn. Though I don't necessarily agree with all the conclusions, he had a lot of excellent thoughts.
I know sometimes it seems like I am rather critical of modern evangelicalism. I am trying to find the balance between truth and love -- as I've alluded to in recent comments and posts. We need to engage the culture, we need to hold everything up in the light of Scripture, we need to stand for Truth, but we need to do all this in love. Pray for me to have God's wisdom and God's love.
