A Great Spirit Blessing: Discernment Exercise
BY: Denis Haack
Living in a pluralistic culture, as we do, does not mean that we live among unbelievers; it means we live among people who believe in things other than Christianity. And since secularism has been found wanting, many are adopting a variety of spiritualities and religions. This means, in turn, that we must expect to find ourselves intersecting with our neighbor’s religious convictions and practices—not just in the realm of ideas but in practice.

Cobelligerency without Belligerency - Loving Believers Who are Simply Wrong: Discernment Exercise

Occasionally we are reminded that even with the best planning all the details in life are not in our control. Interruptions--be they weather or pneumonia or economic recessions--can appear when they are least expected or appreciated. Some interruptions are minor, irritations really while others can scare us back to reconsider our basic convictions about life, meaning, and reality.

In Ransom we are committed to the notion that reflection on such issues should be done with authenticity, gratitude, fearlessness, humility, and wit. We hope this can be seen in the material posted here, and we invite you to join our conversation.

Thanks for visiting our site.
