It’s such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, “this might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!” and “Jesus might be retuning soon!” instead of “look at how much people are suffering!” and “how can we stop this injustice?”
The Word became flesh and dwelled among us.
The Word didn’t become a religious system.
The Word didn’t become a theological checklist.
The Word didn’t become a political movement.
The Word didn’t become an estatic experience.
The Word became flesh. Loving embodied existence.
One of the biggest of all evidences of the liberal shift in evangelicalism has been overlooked. Numbers of us who had never before in the entirety of our lives uttered it aloud have now said the word crap.
