Who I am ... Part 2

In some ways I think that maybe I should give a clearer picture of who I am and who I have become. Postmodernity is quite a large area, just to say that I find myself identifying with the postmodern movement might make some think that I do not believe in an objective truth or that I am relativistic. While those things are part of the larger secular postmodern culture, I do not claim those parts of postmodernity. In all reality there are good parts and bad parts to postmodernity. The good parts, the emphasis on community, relational ministry, the desire for authenticity, and more are the parts that I find myself identifying with along with a tendency to question tradition and things that have been established. I do not however go along with any idea that says that truth is relative or that there are many ways to God.

As far as the part about being not quite fundamentalist or evangelical I must say that I do not differ greatly from the ideas that are within those realms. I go along with much of what they have to say, just not all of it.

I'm searching for the truth; for the way that things are supposed to be. I want to know God as He really is and to follow Him. I want to understand the way that reality is. And in reality, it is all about God.
