I enjoyed this post very much. I think there is a lot of truth to what you have to say here. Although I don’t ridicule them publicly, I am not the fan you are of the two men you mentioned towards the end of your blog, nor those like them. However, I have often admired their ability to handle criticism and the way they deal, or don’t, with such. There are times they seem to be as wrong as the night is black, but no matter how much flack they take, they don’t waiver. I think if you’re going to believe, going to have faith in anything, you ought to have that much of it. I think you ought to believe it that much. I think you should stand by it that much.

I greatly enjoy reading through your posts. You have a unique insight into things, and you usually make me think about things a whole different way. Its evident at times you aren’t satisfied with what has become the status quo amongst the Church and Christianity. And thought we would likely disagree on methodology, I would likely stand with you on many of those views. I pray your desire for change and charge stems from burden, not bitterness, from ardor not antipathy. Dr. Hall told me one time that as a minister, you need to study people almost as much as you study the Word. (keyword-almost). I think you are one of the few who actually do that, and I greatly admire that about you.

Well, I’ve got some word studies to do. Hope all is well. Take care bro.
