repentance of passion-less-ness for truth

based on the comment a few comments about the need for a passion for truth, i found this video apropos:



as a.w. tozer said, "what comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."

has the cGgc lost its passion for truth? if so, how to we cultivate and encourage it? how do we get it back?

Orthodoxy

Dan commented on the Hermeneutics Quiz: "Actually, I would hope it might allow for all three categories. Do you think this is possible? And if possible, do you think that would be a good thing?"

I saw this chart the other day on Dan Kimball's blog. It was actually originally posted by Dan Wallace at his blog.



You can read all the commentary, but for the record, this is just an image to express some thoughts Dan Wallace had about doctrinal stances and Othodoxy. The one note I'll pass on is that he isn't saying DA Carson is the center of orthodoxy. He noted that someone else may in fact be "more orthodox" than Carson, but this graph simply charts stances from conservative to liberal through a couple of categories. Carson happens to be in the middle. Also he puts McLaren on the line.

So to take a stab at Dan H's question, I would say I tend to agree with the graph.

Dan, your daughter is good friends with Scot McKnight isn't she? (this is a little joke because I know she was in the same room with him the other day). See if she can get McKnight to express the quiz by placing the user either inside or outside of Wallace's subjective circle. This would cut way down on our costs for evaluating pastoral candidates. (another little joke)

It is my hope that the comments pile up under my Discipleship post and not this one. But I put it out there none the less.
