I have just spent the last hour or so "chasing" blogs about a new book that was just released by one of my favorite authors, Tony Jones. Mr. Jones has written a book (found here) that is causing quite a stir! I won't bore you with details, but I spent an hour reading praises for the book as well as many criticisms. The major argument is that Tony Jones sits outside of traditional "orthodoxy" (here). I have read so many "big" words in the last hour that I have come down with a severe case of tired head. The blogs are all written by people with a lot of letters after their names and so that gives them some sort of street cred! After looking in my theological dictionary for the fourth time in an hour I decided I needed to blog about today's passage…
We get so uptight about other people. We spend so much of our time worried what others are doing and saying that we forget about ourselves. I want to learn to love the Lord, walk in his ways, and to keep his commands. I want to do these three things really well before I start to look at how well you are doing. I want to leave behind this arrogance that I have it all together and take with me my own brokenness. I want to be able to say "…the Lord is my life." (v.20)
