Socrates said, "An unexamined life is not worth living." This is my feeble attempt at examining my life.

Phase two...

4:41 AM Posted by Daniel Rose , , No comments
So, I have been writing a bit about the big picture of what missional is and exploring some things here and asking questions. Most of these questions I don't have answers for, it's a bit frustrating for a guy who usually has answers for EVERYTHING!

It's hard to be in a place where you feel like everything is up for grabs.  Where you are evaluating so much of what you believe and what you think.  It's good though because I am realizing how little I know and how little really matters.  But, the things that do matter are critical.

In light of all this, I want to take a bit of a detour.  I have been thinking a bit about two issues that seem to me as very important for our time.

Communion.

Baptism.

It seems that both of these issues are ones that either have been forgotten about (communion) or are taken for granted (baptism).  Over the next couple of weeks or so I am planning on wrestling through why I think these two things are critical for recovery in this generation as we seek to engage with our God in his mission.

I just finished reading The Lord's Supper by Robert Letham, so I will take up Comunion first and then Baptism.
