Bounded Sets

This past Sunday, my SS class started chapter 2 of Galatians.  In the first section, we saw how important it is for us to confront changes to the gospel, while not being confrontational people over non-essential issues.

Chebyshev center

The Housewife Theologian posted a blog article today that explains very clearly this concept, along with a logical reason why it is both true and important.  She cites a lecture by Don Carson on how we should view fellow believers with whom we don't fully agree on all issues regarding our church practices.  Carson uses a 'sets' illustration from mathematics to create an image of orthodoxy. It was immensely helpful to me; I wish I'd seen it before the lesson last weekend.

Here's her post.

I highly recommend this blog.  You should be reading it regularly.  If you only have time for one blog, dump mine and read hers instead.  I bet she won't put scary math equations up, there.

More, "I Feel..."

I just read this blog post over on Housewife Theologian.  I wish I had it a couple days ago when I was writing the first installment of, "I Feel...".

Dorothy L. Sayers

Read Amiee's post, and pay particular attention to the Dorothy Sayers quote in the middle.  It is a good synopsis, though written before much of the I Feel movement, of why I Feel doesn't cut the mustard.

Good stuff.

A New Blog I've Enjoyed Reading

Sometimes we need to get away from the usual for something different.  I have about 20 blogs I read regularly, and most of them are well-established and popular sites.  A couple aren't that big (yet).  I've pointed you to Pete Scribner's blog in the past, and I'd like to point you to another one now.  I think both will grow, because both are very good.

Aimee Byrd is writing a relatively new blog called, The Housewife Theologian.  I really like the direction she's taking (finding how the gospel interrupts the ordinary in life), and she's a talented writer.  Go check it out.
