I have a list of words I wonder about. Words like:
protection
safety
sovereign
God's will
forgivenesslove
care
watch
guard
redeem
redemption
grace
prayer
joy
resurrection
bitter
These are all fairly straightforward words to one raised in church, right? Well, yes and no. These were all words and concepts that were twisted in their meaning in my theological past. You may well ask how I know this and am I certain that it's not my present that is twisting these words. Every move away from the IFB(Independent Fundamental Baptist) world I grew up in and birthed most of my children in, has been slowly untwisting the doctrinal tangle I was bound in. I can follow the road and see where many of the turns were that led me closer to where I am now. It's progressively improved so much so that I could almost have a post millenial like view on my theological journey.

Feel free to join the conversation with me, myself and I. ;)
I'm planning being more consistent in my blogging, so I'll actually be around to converse with.
