We all must learn to draw limits, not of laziness, but of wisdom. As we live and work within the context of our own gifts and skills, our own strengths and weaknesses, and our own existential situatedness, we will be free to both be who we are, and to trust God to bring forth life and light, in the midst of our limitations.

When the scientific and theological communities attempt to avoid hermeneutics (interpretation) they are liable to make a mess of things. Specialists in both disciplines face the obligation to admit that they are interpreters of data and not merely assessing the bare facts. In spite of their incessant antagonism towards each other, these two communities are interdependent, and therefore need to be in dialogue in order to better understand God, the world, self, and other.

We are now living in a post-trust culture where institutions, politics, economics, and the church have failed to be trustworthy. While this cultural phenomenon is upon us, there is nevertheless still the fundamental truth that trust underlies being human. In spite of the meltdown of trusting that which is external, the internal reality of trust pervades who we are. There is no escape from us being trusting beings and this truth should open up a vision of new understanding about self, other, world, and God.

There are a myriad of tantalizing temptations in the human enterprise of culture; money, possessions, and sexual infidelity, to mention a few. While culture is a valid informer to some degree, we can be carried away in imagining it to have an authority superior to what it merits. Two other informers have to be taken into consideration when deciding how to be and live: Scripture and the natural world. Combined with culture, these two will give us a more stable and far ranging vision and illumine the path towards responsible action.

Following in the footsteps of Christ is never a simple matter of obedience. Being in community with God brings about a transformation that shapes the whole of who we are in new ways. Call this the development of the character of Christ likeness. This means that we will, through the power of the Holy Spirit, begin to choose to obey, not out of rule keeping obligation, but because this is actually becoming who we are. Transformed character and identity is God’s way for us, and in the light of our destiny to image Christ, there is something precious and revolutionary happening right now that is to work itself out through us into the world.

Trying harder is not a viable solution for self-hate. Those who hate themselves are operating with high levels of invalid trust and insufficient knowledge about who they are. They assume that their self-assessment is both true and accurate. Such a view is not only epistemologically faulty, but it embraces a convenient suspicion of all except oneself. Self-haters will have difficulty maintaining the status quo when they are challenged to begin to recognize what it means to be human.

When it comes to our own depiction of imagination it is crucial to understand whether we are being influenced by Plato, Augustine, Coleridge, or some other thinker. Consciously, or unconsciously, keeping in step with philosopher, theologian, or poet, may have appropriate or inappropriate consequences for following in the footsteps of the crucified and risen One, and therefore cautious discernment is in order.

Dear Lord God, we come before you to repent for the proliferation of irrelevant things that divide us and tear apart the body of Christ. We pray that you would help us to focus on the unity that we should have and to, in a credible manner, portray that to the world, which so desperately needs a persuasive vision of love and truth.
