| Honesty, Morality & Conscience |
In the battle between liberal and conservative Christianity something seems to be missing. It really does not matter whether we are traditional or progressive, as long as we are in line with the teachings of Jesus. Liberalism and conservatism are not as important as honesty with the facts no matter where they lead us. We must admit that none of us is capable of complete honesty. Cultural biases prejudice our thinking. And so we must all include a little honest self-doubt, a little humility with our conclusions. In short, no human conclusions can be dogma, but tentative at least until further facts come to light. It behoves us in this stormy sea of controversy to look to Jesus, so that we can all walk on water and not sink into the abyss of our own faulty opinions (Matthew 14:22-33).
