Okay, there are so many opinions when it comes to theological discussions (or ideological, or any discussion for that matter). So many views, beliefs, facts, and options. And I dig exploring the who, what, where and why of things—and perhaps try to be a catalyst for deep conversation, consideration or even confrontation—but sometimes, with some folks, I feel as though I may be a fly in the ointment.
I had a conversation with a neighbor who's a good friend, confidant, and someone who enjoys the deep dive. We were discussing this whole fly and ointment thing. He challenged me with a consideration. Am I a fly in the ointment? Or am I trying to BE the fly in the ointment? Its one thing to honestly discuss and debate. Its another to poke, and perhaps annoy.
I so value friends like this. Folks who challenge you to check your intentions...
