Worth repeating!

Funny thing is I agree that the speculation of dispensationalist authors is over the top. But why let them suck you in?

I'm reminded of the parable of the tar baby. A wise man once said that many churches had destroyed themselves by becoming anti-abortion, rather than pro-life. "Be careful how you stare into the abyss," Nietzsche wrote, "lest, eventually, you find the abyss staring into you." We tend to become like what we behold -- and staring too long into the lunacies of the newspaper exegetes can undermine the health of our own walk with God.

“Be careful how you stare into the abyss,” Nietzsche wrote, “lest, eventually, you find the abyss staring into you.” We tend to become like what we behold — and staring too long into the lunacies of the newspaper exegetes can undermine the health of our own walk with God.”

So...if we spend all our time, talents & treasures thinking of creative ways to mock, ridicule & scoff at other believers’ non-essential theology, what does that say about us?
