Why This Blog?

    This blog is designed to be a place where the mind can freely stretch. If you are accustomed to confining your mind to close quarters, then you will find this blog an uncomfortable place. It is entitled 'Methinks' because these are my musings. I am not setting forth new doctrines. Rather, I am allowing myself to ponder whether old truths have been forgotten or misunderstood, and whether we have developed our own liturgy the same way a horse cart wears a path in a quaint rural road.  
   Here, in this blog you are free to express. The only requirement is that contributions represent a true exchange of ideas, not biases, or emotional responses.

Speak where the bible speaks, silent where the bible is silent

   This sentiment was first stated by Thomas Campbell. It was a thought to summarize why people wanted to leave denominations, and the numerous creeds and confessions that accompanied them. It is interesting. type this into a search engine and you will pull up website after website belonging to a ‘CHURCH OF CHRIST’. Perhaps this is a noble ideal, but it is interesting that one man’s phraseology against creeds has almost become a creed in and of itself, the unofficial confession of the ‘churches of Christ’
