...on Phil Robertson and the "church"

My thoughts concerning the recent "colloquy" in lieu of the Phil Robertson interview in GQ Magazine:

As the "church" we are called to be as Paul so eloquently states in 1 Timothy 3:15, "a pillar and buttress of the truth." 

Both of these nouns  (στῦλος and ἑδραίωμα in the Greek) represent a immovable structure that supports or gives stability to something...that "something" according to Paul is the "truth."

If we are the church, we must gracefully, humbly and with hospitality, give support and stability to God's Truth, so that the world around us does not falsely build its foundational structures on non-truths and subsequently fall.
