I find that as I read my textbooks that are supposed to prepare me for full time ministry, I find myself very concerned for the church. I find myself very concerned for myself. What do I believe? How have I come to believe what I believe? Who has formed these beliefs? Are these beliefs Biblical? What beliefs should I hold onto? Which should I let go?
My goal is to plant a church one day. How do you eradicate your presuppositions and plant a church that Jesus will smile over? How do you reach out to a modern world and retain Biblical integrity?
This is barely a sample of the questions that I have already formulated. And I’ve only been in school officially for one week.
Seminary is going to make or break me. It is going to make or break my faith. I relish that my foundational beliefs are already being challenged. This is the reason that I entered seminary.
This should be a fun ride.
