When I a had a budding interest in going into ordained ministry a few years ago, my bishop said that because I am in the middle ground politically and theologically, I would get demonized by both sides. It's a sad statement of how much we like to believe in our own self righteousness instead of being focused on the building of individual character and general well-being of society.

I come to your blog exactly because you are a realist and try your best to be thoughtful and introspective about the issues that face our society and culture. I appreciate your honesty and idiosyncratic posts...they are like a breath of fresh air in my email box!

Dr Beck, the reason I subscribe is that your perspective is different than any other Christian teacher that I know of. You are able to articulate things that I’m seeing or brooding on but haven’t found words for yet. Why aren’t there more of you?? God bless you and your loved ones.
