  1. Sometime back, maybe 5 years ago, I came across the phrase #exvangelical . It resonated with me as I was exploring #orthodoxy and some of my deeply held convictions were fraying at the edges. Just a few days ago, on seeing the term in someone's bio, i realize I have fully walked that path now. I am thankful for my time in #protestant land as an #evangelical but I am glad to have joined the ancient church.

  2. I think we should treat much of American #Evangelical #Christianity as a #CargoCult, and call them out as such instead of assuming they are actually based on the teachings of #JesusChrist .

    After all, they seem to believe that as long as they say the right magic words, they are going to be "saved". And then anything they say or do - no matter how vile - will be justified. After all, _they_ are saved, and _you_ are not.

    Trappings over substance - that's pretty much the definition of a cargo cult, isn't it?

  3. Read the Bible like a Biblical Theologian:

    1. Take original readers seriously
    2. Follow the history (it's not a book of quotes)
    3. The author and genre play a role
    4. The Bible interprets the Bible
    5. Christ is the climax
    6. Biblical Theology must drive to Systematic Theology
