Speechless

Thanks for this message Don!

“I find it so sad that this beautiful elegant universe that physicists are discovering is unfamiliar to so many Christians. There is a cruel irony that the reason for this ignorance is that so many Christians are still struggling with the discoveries of science in the 19th century – people like charles darwin – that they are not even up to the 20th and 21st century yet. All because their allegience is to the words (small “w”) and not to the Word of God (capital “W”).”

This echoes my own personal view that Christianity cannot become post-modern until it first becomes modern. It would be a mistake to assume being post-modern means returning to ancient thinking and rejecting modern science and theology. Once we embrace the blessings of modernity, then we can rediscover how the deep truths wrapped in our ancient stories, myths, symbols, and rituals can still enrich our lives in a post enlightenment world with the realization that these stories are not literally true.

really good. the first “sermon” i’ve sat through in over a year.
