rather than return to the plumb line of God's word.

In the Wittenberg trail feature, Felix Locke writes about his journey from reliance on sincerity and knowledge to a reliance on Christ.

Christian. Christian theology, while it does employ reason and logic,

it's necessary to employ those things

to do good Christian theology cannot be ruled by reason or

logic. We talk about the magisterial use of reason, which is letting your reason overwhelm the word of God and the ministerial use of reason and that is

allowing the word of God to be the master and reason either takes a back seat or better yet bends the knee.

One of the problems with reformed Christianity is it does not have a ministerial use of reason.

Welcome back to issues, etc.

I'm Todd Wilkin.
