It Seems to Me...
Bruce Alderman is meditating here about the basic core issues of belief in his own life - namely why he believes in God and why, further, he embraces a belief in Jesus Christ.
It Seems to Me...: "So who is right and who is wrong? Isn't that what religion is all about? In a word, no. It's not fundamentally about being more right than anyone else. It's about responding to God's call and being faithful to that call, however the call comes and wherever the call leads."
Rightness and wrongness might appear to be essential questions, but Bruce suggests that the relational question trumps them.
It is what E. Stanley Jones called, "The Divine Yes."
We start there with God and we can sort out the details as we go along.
