As a contrarian, I passionately believe that God gave us the gift of rational thought as a gift which He expects us to use - especially when it comes to matters of eternal significance.
I also am convicted that the Bible is a divinely inspired revelation of God, the ultimate thinker, and His will for our lives that thinking people can understand.
I have also observed and experienced that when our lives are informed and guided by the insights found in the Bible and a personal relationship with God we live lives of greater meaning and impact than we could experience any other way.
