Editor’s Note...
D
. . . we are called to speak the truth in love.
ue to what I’ll call a “perfect storm” of events, this issue is nearly a month overdue. I try to have each issue start mailing from the printer at the beginning of each season. Although we will be well into spring when this issue arrives in your mailbox, at least it will still be spring! Hopefully I’ll be back on schedule for the summer issue. The tentatively titled “Living after the Fact” column we introduced last issue received very positive feedback. We asked readers for their suggestions for a title for the column and, after reviewing the responses, the column will now be titled “Life in the Kingdom.” This issue’s article is provided by David Curtis, and touches upon what I believe is a very pertinent issue—our conduct in the online community. While my primary reason for not being involved in online theological/preterist interactions is a lack of time, my secondary reason is the fact that, as David points out, things can be brutal in the online community. Yes, even in the Christian online community. And, sadly, even in the preterist online community. To paraphrase Paul, “If I know all mysteries and all knowledge and can explain the resurrection and millennium, but do not have love, I am nothing.” Yes, we should pursue deeper understanding of theological truths. Yes, we should engage in dialog with others and interact with opposing views. But we are called to speak the truth in love. In an effort to get this issue to the printer, I’ll leave off here for this Editor’s Update. As always, we are grateful for your prayerful and financial support. Blessings,
Brian
