Feel the shock of the infinite divide of the Creator…

Andrew Peterson has a song that begins, “So you’re sitting…

"When we talk about the missional life, we are going to have to understand that mission is always cross-cultural. All of us have a culture we come from, and culture is not an a-moral thing. There are elements of every culture that are bad and there are parts of every culture that are good. There are things in most cultures that are worthy of redeeming. To live missionally we are necessarily going to have to learn to live cross culturally. To do this effectively it’s going to take huge doses of grace and humility mixed with boldness in the gospel. We are taking the gospel that exists in a 'Two-ist worldview' and attempting to communicate it in a culture that largely has a 'One-ist worldview'."

“There is nothing like the Biblical Gospel in all of history: the transcendent Lord above, bearing our sins on the Earth below, bestowing merit on undeserving sinners. –This Two-ist doctrine of God is the jewel of our historic Christian faith. Without it, Christianity becomes one more form of sentimental One-ism.” With this profound, beautiful statement, Dr. Jones opened the 2012 truthXchange Think Tank, “The Beauty of Two”. It rocked us when we heard it that first night and it is our hope that it rocks you wonderfully as you listen to it now. Reality is Two, and Two-ism is beautiful.
