There is nothing new under the sun. Labeling has been around for centuries, and it's used outside of the Rick Warren groupies. How many times have we referred to ourselves as "Bible believing" or "Protestant" to distinguish ourselves from other followers of Christ?
I was doing a lot of reading on Jerry Falwell and limited atonement yesterday, and it was fascinating to see some of the label discussions - Falwell was an Arminian though he didn't use the term, Luther was a Calvinist even though the Book of Concord wasn't, ad nauseum.
All of us get so caught up in our little human things that we forget about God at times.
PONDER-to weigh in the mind, to think about, reflect on.
"He chose his servant David, calling him from the sheep pens. He took David from tending the ewes and lambs and made him the shepherd of Jacob's descendants — God's own people, Israel. He cared for them with a true heart and led them with skillful hands." Ps 78:70-72 NLT
