Admittedly, logic is simultaneously my biggest enemy as well as my biggest ally.

The fuel behind most of my discussion is, quite honestly, a desire to learn and a desire to grow. However, there’s often a separate notion that I struggle with that creeps up alongside that more genuine. I call it the spirit of “debunking” (to use a term used in jest by these great thinkers). I think a more common name for its instances in my life are pride.

D0n’t get me wrong, I’m not throwing in the towel on my spirit of debate and discussion that sadly, many loathe. I’m also not frowning on honest questioning of obvious sources of sour theology. I’m just admitting that often my desire to ‘debunk’ what I think is flimsy theology overshadows what should be the all-encompassing desire to learn more about God to the glory of Him and encourage others to do the same.

So, here’s to logic and all of her wonderful confusions and misunderstandings! And, here’s to hopefully a more dedicated pursuit of a gospel-centered growth in understanding of the LORD.
