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)

God's Goodness

I will whole heartedly admit that God is holy, all powerful, and loving; when it comes to God's goodness though I am slower to respond with assent. I want to pose a few questions that I hope will help us to understand God's nature more fully. Why does the church assert God's goodness? What Biblical texts lead the church to this conclusion? If you agree that God is good what does this mean for you? How would you define God's goodness?
I hope that by the end of these few weeks I will be able to wholeheartedly say that God is good but I just can't say it right now.
