my job is to be in Christ.

We can't argue about the truth of Jesus.
We can argue about the truth of the language we use about Jesus,
but Jesus transcends our explanations of Him.
. . . . .
We don't want to trade our Adventist distinctiveness for generic Christianity;
what we'd very much like to do, however, is to trade a self-centered Adventism for a Christ-centered Adventism.
. . . . .
These are some of the thought-gems from two great days I spent in Atlanta at a gathering for the One Project, a movement to celebrate (and encourage) the supremacy of Jesus. One hundred seventy people gathered together to worship, converse, and re-consecrate themselves to live with Jesus as All, and leaving to be change-agents within the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. It was powerful.
You probably weren't there, which is a shame. But Joshua and I are already registered for Seattle 2012. We'd love see to you there.
Jesus. All.
Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else.

I'm a little bit sad that you were in Atlanta and we in Collegedale didn't see you guys. But at least what you did was very very good, as evidenced from this blog and the one that follows.
Nick stole my comment. Both parts.
I miss you, friend! We should catch up soon.
Thanks your wise thoughts and words on my blog. It's always nice to know you're not alone.
