the new holy crap

Alright, we're going to try to rejuvenate this thing one more fall instead of rashly pulling the plug. Welcome back. Hope everyone had a good summer! Here's the news: We are now welcoming comments from the public. The long-time contributors are still the primary dialogue-thrusters but we are ready to hear from others, should they ever wander by.

So let's remember the ground rules. This is dialogue. Dialogue means respect, humility, grace, and a united commitment to truth that relentlessly involves listening as much as it involves saying your piece. Consider this a good opportunity to learn better what it might mean to speak the truth in love! I don't know about you, but I could certainly use a bit of work with both. May God have mercy, may God bring the holy.

Looking forward to hearing from the old gang of "crappers" and new contributors alike. Welcome to the dialogue! (love, Fear)

Yeah, I'm sure there are better questions. Too bad.

Welcome to Holy Crap




Welcome to Holy Crap. This blog, hosted by Jon C. and Aaron H, (AKA "fear" and "trembling") invites members to participate in theological discussion.

The purpose of this blog is to generate dialogue on issues of debate -- not necessarily to form a conclusion but to create an understanding of other viewpoints... the old "iron sharpening iron" concept. Ultimately, we want to glorify God by sweating through the tough issues and coming out the other side of the debate with a clearer understanding of how He acts in the world.

Guidelines are posted on the sidebar. Please note: this blog can be viewed by other people but only registered users may post comments. As such, be respectful of others -- members and non-members alike. Most importantly, please participate!

Special thanks to Jon for the great idea of starting this blog.

Thanks for joining us!
