“the way in which a faith community shapes language about God implicity represents what it takes to be the highest good, the profoundest truth, the most appealing beauty. ... While officially it is rightly and consistently said that God is spirit and so beyond identification with either male or female sex, yet the daily language of preaching, worship, catechesis, and instruction conveys a different message: God is male, or at least more like a man than a woman, or at least more fittingly addressed as male than as female.” MenWaySaidDifferentGodSpiritLanguageSexCommunityShapesWorshipMessagesHighestFemaleMalesInstructionConsistentlyPreachingIdentificationFaith Community Author:Elizabeth A.

“The gospel is only good news if it gets there on time. I think if we don't deliver this message, it's negligence of the highest order. It would be like if you were walking down the street and a house was on fire and you heard screams coming from inside and you just kept walking. How irresponsible is that? At the very least, call 911 but better yet, you might run in and try to save the people.” PeopleIfsThinkingTryingMightWould BeRunningOrderHouseFireHeardStreetsWalkingMessagesNewsHighestScreamGood NewsIrresponsibleNegligence Author:Greg Laurie
