Why The New Name?

Because we all "see through a glass, darkly" (1Corinthians 13:12 KJV and even that lovely statement is different depending on which translation you purchase.) Because so much anxiety, in-fighting, and out-fighting could be calmed if we all ended every grand pronouncement with the humility of, "But I could be wrong." We each do our relative best. Sometimes we do get it right and I'll allow myself enough hope to believe that sometimes what I write coincides with truth beyond my words. Jesus said, "Blessed are the meek" (Matthew 5:5). In this age where everyone in the world with electronic access can broadcast opinions to everyone else in the world with access, we would all do well to tread meekly, doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly with our God (Micah 6:8). But, I could be wrong.

One of my favorite college memories was when my Philosophy professor was making some point and declared, "I may be wrong. I doubt it, but I may be wrong."

Love your sermons and your blog!
