I guess I have a question about what we are supposed to do about it. I am sure that if you were to present your frustration with the pastor of that church he would agree with you and say that It is just a matter of symantics... but I am so tired of things being just a matter of symantics. I can justify and condemn any number of people or doctrines on words and what they mean. Sometimes I wonder if words are sufficient at all. I know that One word is... the one who became flesh.

It does make me rejoice anew in the gospel. Interestingly, I’ve been thinking about this very thing for the past couple of days—who I am apart from Christ.
