It is interesting to me that some of us are quite sure and even adamant about the correctness of our opinions; until our world is rocked by a close personal encounter which forces us to re-think. I have certainly been there enough that I am now open to that occurring on nearly every topic. A true "post-modernist", I guess. There are a very few "core" tenets that I will cling to and defend at this point; I think it is a similar list to one that we would get from Jesus and the apostles, based on my reading of Scripture.
Another example came to my RSS reader today, as another Church of Christ preacher decides its time to openly discuss the "issue" we have with women in public and leadership roles. I don't know his previous conviction on the subject or if he has ever discussed it before, but his blog post says he has been silent. And what has brought about this epiphany, this "coming out"? His wife is expecting a little girl! Having an injustice affect your own children is a great motivator! Its time to repent and right some wrongs. Its kingdom work! The world is watching!
