Should we have a firm grip on doctrine and know what the Bible speaks to the world? Yes, of course.
Keep this in mind though: Loving people the way Jesus did is always great theology.

We believe in a light that smothers darkness.
It tears through every shadow in our world,
and leaves a clarity brighter than the sun,
and we name that light: God!

We believe in a love that crushes hatred,
and leaves a space for forgiveness
to rebuild, redesign, and recreate our world,
and we name that love: God!

We believe in a truth that rips through injustice
revealing a different vision for our world:
of freedom, fairness, and future,
and we name that truth: God!

We believe in a hope that rattles oppressors,
shaping the intent of the Creator
for a people destined for love,
and we name that hope: God!

We believe in a time towards which all history travels,
where all our lives will be held,
and bound into eternity,
and we name that time: God!

There is a quiet confidence in knowing we all hit a couple of wrong notes here and there. The report card on our faith is how we treat one another when we do.
