God IS Bigger than Systematic Theology

A friend tipped me off to a blog posting which had the following sentence as an introduction. One of the really dumb ideas floating around Post-Modern "Christian" circles is this idea that "God is Bigger Than Your Systematic Theology". . . The post goes on to quote from Philip Melancthon to support the claim that "Post-Modern 'Christian(s)'" are dumb in saying that God is bigger than Systematic Theology. I do not know if my friend agreed or disagreed with the post, however, I found this post to be rather, well, dumb. How can anyone claim that any theology, I don't care if it is Systematic, Piratical or even Biblical Theology, is as big as God. All forms of theology are the study of God, not God himself.

Married and Celibate

Sorry, for those of you who thought I was taking a vow of celibacy. Although with having four kids under the age of five, some of you may think it would be a good idea. I wanted to bring up a new prospective I have on celibacy and abstinence.

Reflections on The Shack

Well, I have finally finished reading "The Shack . I could take the rest of this post discussing the theological genius or heresy one might believe exists in this story, however this would not do justice to the creative wonder Young has pieced together. This book took me quite some time to read, simply because I got bored about a third of the way into it and put it down. Although, after many people coming up to me and asking my thoughts on the book, I decided to pick it back up and finish it. I am truly grateful for those questioning people for getting me to finish this book.
