God save us from ourselves is right. I did have to switch and join the Googlemania, but I am content with that switch. I haven't been blogging as often as of late because I've been trying to think less.

I stand with the bold proposition that an academic knowledge of the Bible is in no way related to our relationship with Jesus. I've taken the Bible classes and I have realized that my brain no longer wants to follow Jesus ... but, thank God, my heart stills longs passionately for my Savior and for His influence daily on my life. My heart wins out.

I'm changing, too. I used to be a rational thinker - and now I am beginning to reject that. Rational thought hasn't given me any great revelations of faith; my heart is content in not fully understanding the grace and forgiveness that Christ offers but accepting it in blind trust.

It's difficult for me - I counted myself among those who think that with enough study we can truly understand God (or atleast get pretty close), but now I understand that my brain is so small in comparison to the Creator God's - and I realize that part of humility is humble accepting the fact that if all of the great minds of our day got together and thought about God for the rest of their lives we would be no closer to understanding God than the child who first understands that God loves her.

That's my theology for the moment. God is love. I don't know about the rest, I'm not entirely convinced that anything else matters, and I'm not so sure that it's a bad line of thinking.

Give me hermeneutics? Give me exegesis? Give me Armenianism? No, for right now I'm going to stick with "Give me Jesus!"

A life in change. God save us from ourselves.
