Comments on: The Down Side of Controversy http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/09/the-down-side-o/ Resources for Leading Worship from Bob Kauflin Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:01:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: AmyJane http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/09/the-down-side-o/#comment-786 AmyJane Fri, 29 Sep 2006 06:53:30 +0000 http://www.worshipmatters.com?p=213#comment-786 I'm one of those with a love-hate relationship with debate. I tried to articulate it, and finally came down to a metaphor I liked: debating (in a "safe" context) shows me where I have holes in my roof. I'm not likely to move, but I do want to be sure I'm not prepared for any real storm that could come along. The only difficulty with that is what you mentioned. Basically, how hard it is for the interaction to stay safe. I’m one of those with a love-hate relationship with debate.

It came to a head last night -- and as I was reading this I was convicted that the main thing has been our point instead of the bigger picture.

It may sound rather trite, but I do think the more we "set our eyes on Jesus," the less in importance these surface differences appear. It is harder to stray into "narrowed truth" when you are focused on the cross! Thnaks for posting this, Bob.
