...spiritual and physical abuse in the church, hypocrisy among church members and leaders, sexual ethics, political syncretism, political disagreement, suffering, racism, bigotry, and a perceived lack of relevance or real answers to the world’s problems. ~ The Great Dechurching
We will not grow in virtue until we learn how to know Jesus.
– Knowing Jesus is always a way of communion
…the Internet throws a monkey wrench into the works by almost totally depersonalizing knowledge, reducing it to a cataract of mere information. This reduction of knowledge to information has always been possible, and the forces that exacerbate it have been growing ever since Gutenberg, but now, with the prevalence of quick access to virtually everything there is to know, the link between person and knowledge is, if not destroyed, at least weakened to an extent that is most troubling. Knowledge is less a personal exchange and more a commodity than ever before. ~ Eugene Peterson, Letters to a Young Pastor
Why are we trying to become like Christ? So I can be a perfect person? Is that the goal? That's a mistake. The whole point of becoming Christlike is to be drawn into the life of the Trinity. Communion and relationship, that's the goal. So to be perfect like Christ is to be perfectly in relationship to God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ~ Rebecca DeYoung
– Knowing Jesus always grows through repeated effort
By watching the master and emulating his efforts in the presence of his example, the apprentice unconsciously picks up the rules of the art, including those which are not explicitly known to the master himself. ~ Michael Polanyi, Personal Knowledge
– Knowing Jesus always involves remembering with your body
