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

Who leads this whole thing?

4:06 PM Posted by Daniel Rose No comments
The one questiont that I have been wrestling with in conversation with a friend and as a result of reading The Forgotten Ways is the issue of authority.  What does it mean?  Who is in authority? Is there leadership anymore? What does it all look like in reality, right here, right now? Are we all to do what is right by our own personal hermeneutic? Are we simply to do what feels good?  Is it "just Jesus and me"? What is the role of the community of God's people? What are the individual roles within that body?  Are some called to lead?  Are some called to follow? What do we do with the Bible? What do we do with our heritage of the visible church?

The answers are not easy in coming.  But the list of questions continues to grow. Check out our conversation here.
