TRUTH
I think this is a major theme in the present reformation. Authors, pastors, speakers, friends, neighbors, churches, communities. Opening the box, exploring the foundations of the Christian faith, delving into our dogmatic beliefs. Head first. Questioning everything. Learning again what it means to follow Christ. Truth isn't absent from the modern Christianity, but its Truth absent from reality. It has become inapplicable and unattainable.
