I might get it.

i posted the other day about Encounter and how i love going to it but it drives me nuts. my friend told me that i need to research the emergent church so as i was looking at it i think i might get why it drives me nuts.
They are always talking about a journey that they are on and with the emergent church and how they go about with their way of teaching they will never be able to come to some time of certainity. i am ok with be uncertain about some things but in order to believe you have to have a basic certanity. For me i know that God exist and i know that he wants the best for me. given there are time in my life i feel like it isn't true i know at the end of the day it is true. it is my basic level of certainity and with that i can come back to it and know it is true. this gives me the freedom to question other things and "journey" down other roads. With the emergent church who knows was it true and what isn't. that is what bothers me because it is too full of unknowns for my comfortable level.
What do i like about the emergent church or at least encounter. i like the acceptance aspect of it. i like the community part of it. i like the questions that they ask and i like looking at it from others perspective. i just really don't like the attitude that your on your own journey and it is ok to be where you are at because sometimes we need someone to pull us onto the right path of life. and if we are all on our own journey then how can we be a true community.
