Slowly coming to the realization about sermons at my church, that they ring truest out of anything I've experienced ever in my life in church. The truth they're ringing also happen to be the most accessible to people who don't go to church. Those keeping track may recognize this intro from my last post: it actually applies better to this post.
Dr. Stackhouse, or Stax as Dana & I refer to him in our home, is one of the neatest theologians ever (Dana also refers to Stax as one of my speaker crushes, and I do not deny). I may be reading into the situation, but I suspect this is a message he'd love for lots of people to hear as a "before you go any further" message: if you are ever inclined to use scripture and say "this is true", or if you wonder about what Christians mean (or could or should mean) when they say "this is true".
A little ironic that this post is up on April Fool's Day.
But barely. And after noon.
