The Theologically-Challenged...
When I re-read my post from earlier this morning, I laughed at my use of the phrase “theologically challenged.” Doesn’t that just sound like some sort of deficiency? It’s like the politically correct form of the word “theologicapped.” But, aren’t we all — at least, those of us with an inclination towrds theology in some way or another — theologically-challenged? I mean, none of us ever really get it right (even those of us who attend years of school on the subject). We are all striving to have more understanding. Our “infirmaty” causes us to stumble through life; sometimes hiding our weeknesses and sometimes getting them pointed out and laughed at.
And here’s the funniest part… As the Special Olympics were created for people with physical limitations, so too have we have created these exclusive little events (conferences, summer camps…church) where we can all get together and see who’s going to win the gold medal in the theological decathalon.
No one’s every going to get it “right.” No one will ever completely know what it means to have a firm grasp on the nuances of God’s will — well, except for Jesus.
So, I’m going to leave you with a final thought for this fine Friday… From here on out, I officially claim all Christians (myself probably moreso than many) as the Theologically-Challenged.
Revel in it people!
