Planting Flags

Dave, I think you made good sense at the end of the service today when you explained why you don't "plant flags." I agree with your reasons for not doing so- it's important to keep the "main thing" the "main thing." It's also a freeing and refreshing thing for people to be given the freedom to think as they want to think. God can certainly correct anyone's thinking if and when he chooses to do so.

On the way home, Emily and I had a nice discussion about this. I'm glad that she and Chris are getting exposed to your point-of-view along these lines. I think in the past (at other places) they've sensed that someone was trying to take away their freedom to think as they wished- not a good thing.
