We live in a Christian culture so deeply committed to a nonintellectual way of understanding Christian faith that this perspective is now imbedded (sic) within us at a subconscious level. You didn’t misread. Our underlying ideas about Christianity affect how we think church should be, what a good sermon is, what is worth giving our money to, how we should raise our families, where we go to college, what we should study, and a host of other topics in our lives.
But if our faith is central to how we live and what we believe is flawed, then how we live out our Christianity will be filled with flaws as well.
