Some things are worth thinking deeply about. Maybe that would be better said this way: Many things worth thinking about are worth thinking deeply about.Thinking in Community is about exactly that. Thinking deeply about things worth thinking about.
But it's more than that. It's thinking together about things worth thinking about.
I have a thought:
Generally speaking, people don't think enough. I mean people don't take the time and spend the energy necessary to really think about things that matter. Personally, I don't want to repeat what others say about important topics for lack of my own thoughts on the subject. I don't want to rely on the opinions of others simply because I haven't formed my own. I don't want to listen to those who are trying to please the maximum number of people, tax payers, voters, party members, church members, club members, etc. with lots of words and little content.
Thought #2:
The reason people don't think, is that they have not been taught to think. I believe thinking carefully is a skill. It can be learned. It can be improved upon. But thinking is hard work. It takes time. It takes effort. It is often not easy. It can even be painful. However, coming to one's own well thought-out conclusion on a given subject is foundational in the pursuit of truth. It's not the only step, but it is an important step.
Let us think together.
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
(2Corinthians 10:5)
