As Christian men and women, filled with God’s Spirit and called to loving unity in the body of Christ, we can be open to our natural differences (in their varied individual manifestations and cultural expressions) and work with them for the glory of God.
How do you evoke transcendent reality when we live in … a ‘disenchanted’ world?

To eliminate the propositional nature of biblical truth seriously weakens our ability to hold, defend, and explain the gospel.
