The Way Things Are

    In no particular order

  • We don’t live in the world as God created it. (Gary Parker)
  • Intellectual honesty is not the enemy of faith – even with respect to the Bible.
  • Neither is logic.
  • All truth is God’s truth.
  • Not everything that happens has someone to blame.
  • I don’t have to have an opinion on every issue.
  • I don’t have to take a side in every conflict.
  • The law of the harvest: We reap what we sow, more than we sow, later than we sow. (Charles Stanley).
  • There are usually more ways than one to accomplish a task. The traditional way, or the “way we’ve always done it” may not be the best or most efficient – but not simply because it’s traditional.
  • The comfortable or convenient explanation is not always the best explanation.
  • Clever words do not in themselves form truth.
