Do words have an objective point of reference, or are they unstable as a house built upon sand? Today there is no shortage of pages written on these propositions, and Urban Theology is not trying to answer these questions within the context of that medium.

Each of these fading images depicts my reverence for the eternal Word of God, in the ephemeral dwelling place He has set me.
