My wo...I am scheduled to preach the 8th of January. My working title is "Now in Flesh Appearing" (taken from O Come Let Us Adore Him). I am going to talk about starting out theology with the incarnation. 1) Why it matters in the first place (going to try and appeal to Christian tradition and why that is important) 2) What it tells us about God and 3) What it tells us about ourselves. Funny how your latest post treads along the same lines. My main objective is showing that what God does for us and shows us through the Incarnation is what is expected of us in relationships with others. To take what is transcendent and make it more immanent in the areas of darkness in the world. Any more thoughts on this topic would be wonderful!Mike Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968049104737268713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14736201.post-1135459924813014262005-12-24T16:32:00.000-05:002005-12-24T16:32:00.000-05:00Good condemnation of balance.What I shall contempl...Good condemnation of balance.<BR/><BR/><B>What I shall contemplate over Christmas is:</B><BR/><BR/>"By trying to have both, we end up with neither."<BR/><BR/>"...where the transcendence and immanence of God intersect: [in]the Incarnation."<BR/> <BR/>"...a thoroughly creaturely and therefore immanent mode of transcendence."<BR/><BR/>"Jesus, the immanence of God <BR/>[God] comes to us by his initiative.
