Kim, that's splendid. I will try to read the article today.

Dennis, I can imagine how daunting it truly is, and you have my sincere admiration. I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts about all of this and whatever you come (or come back) to. Our church holds an 'open position' on eschatology which I find really refreshing in some ways, but have come to wonder if it might be unhelpful in others. I can understand why churches opt to confess a position rather than allow for openness as it seems liable to an under-emphasis on the triumph of Christ in history and our great hope --which affects the understanding of the rest of redemptive history. Also I wonder if, because it can encourage some confusion and a willingness to settle for not having a position --it really isn't all that important etc-- it can deprive people of joy.

Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.
