Things To Think About...

Boundless now has a blog. Now I have a lot more to think about...

"Nowadays, many mainline churches try to bend over backwards to reach out to young people, to be hip and current -- they try to make church less about faith, and more about self-improvement -- but to no avail. If the only point of church is betterment of the community, you can do that through any number of volunteer organizations that don't make you get up on Sunday. In the end, all they had truly done was decide that the most Christian thing they could do was cease to be Christian." -Ben Domenech

"Having to commit to a body of believers is difficult if only because it requires so much from you -- time, energy, emotions ... transparency. It's the latter requirement that is the most challenging. " -Motte Brown

I have a lot to think about along those lines in relation to my church now.

The age-old question: Is there a magic age to marry?
My answer to this is simple. No. You have to be ready to get married. You have to be ready to say "this is the path I chose, better or worse, and I will not back out of it." And I don't believe that you can truly and accurately make this statement while in a relationship, because if you do, that person will be always in the back of your mind, and you will be asking that question about him. You have to make that decision when you're not with someone, so you can honestly say that you are ready to make that commitment. Because it's just that. A choice and a commitment.
