Well here we are at the end, with only one class left to go. The authors take this chance to really pin down what principles they feel are really at the Crux of the matter. They discuss the cross, baptism, a cappella music, the Lord's supper, missionary societies and more..., some of which are at the crux and others are "important," but "not at the crux of the matter..." Tonight we'll review this chapter and talk about what issues really are at the crux, why it's important to continually reexamine our traditions and doctrine in light of Scripture and what that really means. Have we got it all figured out? Will we ever? Is it necessary for membership that we do? Is it necessary for salvation? We'll discuss tonight.
Ahhh! Is that what the slippery slope looks like?
ReplyDeleteThat's what the Crux looks like, when you have to focus on the what's important not the periphery... :-)
