Bible Note: Hi, Out of the Miry Clay! Talk about a great username! :-) It reminded me immediately of "feet of clay," and, of course, the "Slough of Despond." :-) You're right, I sometimes leap before I look. It is true, we ought not struggle or rankle over what we do not understand. We can set things aside, patiently knowing that the issues can be revisited later. The problem is when our churches are full of people that will not stop to reflect on their own theology -- a theology that someone in the forum recently called "second hand faith." No, answers may not always be found nor are they always findable, but the effort to dig them up can yield rewards beyond the scope of the immediate search. Thank you for your words and your encouragement! In Him, Doc |
