I'm all for theology. I feel I have a firm grasp on what I believe the Bible teaches. But if I'm gonna be honest, that's where it ends for me. I don't try and wrap theology around every aspect of my life. Don't get me wrong, my theology touches everything I do - I'm just saying I don't attempt to analyze everything in life theologically. I'm cleaning my pool today. I don't have to have a theological approach to that! People who do drive me crazy!
I subscribe to a weekly blog called Monday Morning Insight. It weekly features snippets of information that pastors might find interesting. Today, they included a blog-excerpt from a guy who was arguing against the idea of pastors using video venues to expand their ministries. Now I have no problem with someone having an opinion about something. Lord knows I have my share of opinions. But this guy literally wrote about the 'theological and ecclesiological considerations' of having a video venue. Really? Are you serious? How can there be a theological position on this?
I guess what I really want to know is why people feel like they always have to be right and everyone else has to be wrong? Is it possible there is a number of ways of accomplishing the same thing and that the way I choose might be different than the way you choose but that's okay? Where I stand on the issue of eternal security or the deity of Christ must be established by a fundamental understanding of scripture. Whether I use a satellite feed to accomplish multi-site church ministry is a personal preference that I seriously doubt John Calvin would be that concerned with!
