Modernistic Theology


I went to Border's bookstore yesterday and bought a newer Donald Miller book -Searching for God knows what.- and I am through the first two chapters. Already I've come to a few thoughts of his style of writing/thinking: first, I think he may fall on the thought of "Relativity." and may not realize it (ironic) , Second, After reading Doug Searle's blog post(My Theological Nest), I think Doug is right about parts of tradition and I think this book, sort of, makes all who think in traditional thought patterns of writing (which I think Donald Miller means life overall ass well) is something that needs to be completely reformed. Not that I completely disagree. Then, what about the churches and christians that do "it" right? Always the question I have from this type of book.

Maybe this is the bad side of my brain, or maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the pill, but this style of writing is very cool and all, except it has an even better chance of coming off as completely arrogant. It seems to feed a group of people that need some reason to dislike their traditional thoughts of how the church "should work." What?!

I do not have the whatever-brings-them-in (to church) mentality. Maybe this is why I don't necessarily agree with all the thought patterns in this book, so far. I mean if we want lost people in church so bad, lets cut to the chase--FREE BEER!!!!!!--- This will bring more lost folks and the Cool/Modernistic theologians into the church than anything else, Guaranteed!

Let me know your thoughts..

A quick praise.

-Praise God for spell check.
This is probably the best invention for this vocabularian and wordy reject. I think just in these few sentences I've misspelled a bunch. I just misspelled, misspelled. Dummy. It is possible that, due to genetics, my fingers are so fat (phat) that I hit too many keys at once. Not sure.Though, thanks to spell check I don't feel quite like the monkey I tend to portray ,while showing of my fancy typing-not looking at the screen until finished- professional method. I call it "the typing no look." And yes, I did learn some of this fantastic art from my father, the " one finger swirling wonder", where it stops no one knows art form. Thanks Pop. I confess, looking at the screen while typing really is an improvement, but still the urge is there to get lost in the beauty of those black keys on the keyboard and wish (Please Lord) that I could find the " ". Oh well.
