Philippians 1:9-11, What if we don't bother with theological triage?

Philippians 1:9-11, What if we don't bother with theological triage?
Adam Godshall

Speaker: Adam Godshall
Series: Theological Triage
Text: Philippians 1:9-11
Theme: What if we don't bother with theological triage?

Theological Triage: Ranking theological issues based on how central they are to the Christian faith

Tier 4: Personal Preferences of Residual Wisdom

  • Choices based on what is more pleasing
  • Informed and shaped by tiers 1, 2, and 3
  • Examples (at some level)
    • Music style and song selection
    • Bible translation
    • Building design and decor
    • Technology in the service

If we don't do theological triage, then...

  • We ignore biblical discernment.
  • We undermine the gospel.
  • We dishonor the unity of the church.
  • We confuse the young Christian.
  • We forfeit peace that comes from priority.
  • We fight too much.
  • We fight too little.

...that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent... ~ Philippians 1:9
