“Even the most unfair criticism will likely contain some truth.”
This is a truth that is hard to swallow, but I must. It could be why I swallow hard when I am criticized. Great post! selahV

“Because our speech is not seasoned with grace, we undermine the very gospel we preach.”

I think you have touched on one of the most important issues as to why so many have dismissed the Gospel and the Church in the U.S. Not only is our speech not seasoned with grace, but neither are our many of our lives.

Bruce,

I’m really enjoying this series. There are definitely waves of extremism we can get washed up in in seminary.

As I read each of your articles, I thought about the different groups / cliques that I knew during my time at Southwestern. Some were very political, some were the systematic theology guys, and some were the dorks.

I tried as much as I could to keep an open mind, and open Bible, to have fun, and be thankful for the incredible opportunity I had to train for the ministry.
