Taboo Topics

Q: Are there any topics that you wouldn't want to address on this blog? I mean are there any questions that readers could ask but which you might be afraid or at least reluctant to answer here?

A: No, I don't think so. There may be topics that would be taboo in our culture. But I have a pretty strong conviction that the Christian church (i.e., the Christ-following people) must be willing to talk about any thing and everything. If we set any topic as "off limits," then that would surely be where the devil would do his best work in our lives. Christians are called to live what I call examined lives. And when you examine life, you are apt to find things that are ugly, embarrassing, distasteful, etc. But you examine them in the light of Christ's love and God's truth anyway.
