i read this article the other day about how it seems that american christianity is taking two different roads now. 1. those that believe faith is about being a "sinner saved by grace" with the cross as the ticket out of hell. 2. those that believe faith is about becoming who god intended us to be with the cross addressing sin as the obstacle to true intimacy with god.
i think i have to agree with the article. i've noticed this play out in churches...people who unfortunately need the "side" mentality. however, i've noticed that there are some who get misassigned to a "side" too. in those cases, it seems like wording needs to be hammered out better. ("what do you mean when you say..." etc.)
i have to say...if we must have "camps" on the subject, i think i'm more and more in the 2nd.
uh-oh...does that mean that i have to hand in my badge?? ;) naaa...
