Dr. Munther Isaac</a>: </p><div class="callout-block"><p>&#8220;Theology without context is irrelevant.&#8221;</p></div><p>After listening to them weep and wail because many of them had no context or practical application for the songs they sing, scriptures they read, sermons they hear, and theology they hold and defend. We need for deliverance and discipleship in ever increasing measure at all times. I sang the song above and then we went in because at the <a href="https://www.jonathan-walton.com/new-page-3">Center for Beauty and Resistance</a>, our hope is to nourish whole people and fruitful communities. </p><div><hr /></div><div class="digest-post-embed"></div><blockquote><p><em><strong>A NOTE ABOUT MY WORK</strong>: I am leaving my full-time job with InterVarsity USA and with that change, paid subscribers become much more important.
