2. With God’s help, less and less do we engage in subtle and not-so-subtle judgments of other churches in the area (pick one): “too liberal,” “too fundamental,” “too shallow,” “not missional enough.” In fact, we can actually entertain the thought, “Why shouldn’t our denomination just fold up and submit to a larger, more historic entity?” Like most people, in the case of my own tribe, I believe such an argument can be made, but it is weaker than I might care to admit. When “Well, at least we get the Gospel right” cannot be fully argued on the basis of antiquity or universality, perhaps what’s primarily at stake is “We like it better our way.” Even if this thought experiment yields nothing visible, it promotes a humble temper of mind.
