Wow. What a great post. To my knowledge, I’ve never met a Christian who believes he or she “earned” God’s grace. Our image doesn’t reflect the reality of THE church I’ve known since I was a child.

Ty: I have been thinking your last comment in this thread for a few days now and I feel you are correct. I also don’t feel Christianity needs “major” change. In fact, most of the leaders and writers that try to inspire “major” change fail miserably because their theology is questionable. I believe Christianity is need of something a little more subtle. We need an attitude change if nothing else. The changes we need can be inspired and led from within the church.

We’ve already had the Protestant Reformation … we don’t need another one.

My thoughts on the Governor Sanford issue have been all over the place. Largely, I have settled upon accepting that he fell into sin like every human being to walk the planet has. He is responsible for his fall and accountable for its outcome. His fall ultimately means that his life was out of whack and his behavior didn’t match up to his ideals. It is a matter between his family, his wife, his God, and himself. Hopefully, he can get the breathing room to work all of that out.

I am reminded of the words of Jesus, “Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.” Its time to move on and allow whatever God’s plan is for these people to work itself out. We should allow them the privacy to do that. (It would be easier if he had resigned though). If the people of South Carolina, (one of which I am not), are interested in dealing with this matter through their dully constituted representatives, then that is their business.

Clark, I think your comments on this are dead on!

I’ve been thinking about it and will definitely consider it. Thanks!

Hey there Aaron … my wife purchased the domain for me as a father’s day present and it went online last Tuesday. It took me a couple of days to decide what theme I wanted to use. I must of went through 30 or 40 of them!

If you ever want to get one for “Blogging Theologically,” I recommend godaddy.com …. it is very affordable on the monthly plan.
