We are both entrusted with the Word of God and called to genuine humility. We are called to live out and proclaim biblical values and to acknowledge our limited understanding of how these are to be lived out. I respect Bush's commitment to his faith and his desire to see that faith lived out publicly and in his presidency. I am deeply concerned about his apparent lack of humility in doing so. On the other hand, while I respect those on the left who are humble in the sense of acknowedging that they cannot know the whole truth, I get fed up with the relativistic morality they end up with. I like the example of Lincoln. Clearly he lived out his value that slavery was wrong and could not be swayed from this position despite the horrific war that ensued. Yet it is clear from his inaugural address and other speeches/writings that he was a profoundly humble man, aware that he could never fully comprehend the mind of the Creator. May God give us the grace to have that same mind, walking that fine line between Truth and Humility. This article highlights well the constant tension of what it means to be a Christian.
