Theology Blog

I confess that I have a high Christology.  In fact, I do more than confess it; I shout it from the rooftops. I do not consider myself to be an evangelical in the Colorado Springs sense of the word, but when it comes to the belief in the good news and the message of Christ I am very evangelical. I have spent quite a bit of time in various theological circles; fundamentalist, diverse, conservative, evangelical, liberal, and very liberal. When it comes to justice and social issues I tend to fall on the more liberal side of the spectrum. When it comes to my general theological perspective and my view of scripture I fall close to the middle. When it comes to an understanding of commitment I am conservative. These are just terms and definitions; boxes that as the revelation continues no longer work. I have been through many phases and experiences in my faith journey and have changed much. One thing that has not at all changed is my Christology. That has been what has kept me centered and what in my mind defines Christianity. It is not just about what we believe or do, or even who we are. Without Christ we are nothing and without a correct lived understanding of Christ we miss the life promised to us by Christ Jesus. I believe Jesus is who he says he is. I believe he did not just come for ideals, but to show the vary nature and character of God. He is fully man and fully God and life is found by first looking to Him.  I will not fear what it means to have a high Christology, because without it I am completely without.
