Colorado Bound
I leave for a week in Colorado tomorrow.....so no bloggin next week for this guy. I miss reading more than I miss posting. As I have confessed, I am a blogaholic.
What a GREAT week this past week was! Don Mclaughlin was here on campus and God working thru him LIT this place up! There is a renewal on campus like I have not witnessed in quite a while. There is NOT an age group that Don does not relate to, he is simply an amazing person. I think the quality that makes people be drawn to him the most is his transparency. He communicates that he was and is a regular guy with the same struggles you and I have on a daily basis. That resonates BIG time with the students, who see many older people as not being genuine or real. There was a time when you sure better not be real, because only perfection was acceptable.
Thank God......THANK GOD........those days are pretty much gone. Don is a TREMENDOUS blessing to me, as I know he is to many of you.
In closing, let me share a question I have been pondering this week. I have read several items lately where the phrase "sound biblically" was mentioned. What exactly does that mean? Would it mean the same to every believer? Is it possible that something that is "sound" to me might be off the chart for you? Or vice-versa?
Or is it one of "our" code phrases that every "insider" knows the meaning? Just asking. Hmmm........I wonder if Jesus was sound biblically according to our definition?
Have a great week! "I thought the Rockies were a lot more rockier than this!" :)

God Bless Dave, I pray you have a safe trip to and from....will miss your blogging in the mean time.
I didn't catch what you meant at first re: "sound biblically." I thought for a second there that you were referring back to the "There was a time when you sure better not be real, because only perfection was acceptable" -- that (around the church building, especially) you had to sound biblical!!!
Now I gotcha'! Hmmmm. Was Jesus "biblically sound" in our terminology? Great question! Now - in front of which of His audiences would we be referring to? Come to think of it, ALL of His audiences were challenged by His teachings. And many challenged Him because He didn't exemplify perfection to them.
What a radical!
I believe Jesus called thoughs who thought themselves "sound" to check their "soundness" He kept calling them to the weightier matters.
I would rather be called "heart sound". Can you be both? I think so. But Biblically sound with out heart sound looks like a whitewashed tomb.
I think it is a code phrase when used in the reverse. For example: Seeking a minister, must be "biblically sound". Usually means they must be against whatever that particular group is also against. That is my experience anyway. Hope you are having a great trip!
The CoC I once attended used the term "biblically sound" with a few other pet phrases, to determine ones relationship to that specific brand of church.
If you differed from the unwritten creeds buried in their hearts, you were "biblically unsound."
Many years ago when I was looking for a place to preach, "biblically sound" was a phrase which meant "go to the next ad." While I am fiercely dedicated to scripture and consider myself conservative, I found that "bibically sound" meant "have the same private ponies we like to ride." Now I just ask myself when I contact something new/old/comforting/ or disturbing: does it sound like Jesus?
