“ For many people in our world, the opposite of faith is doubt. The goal, then, within this understanding is to eliminate doubt. But faith and doubt aren’t opposites. Doubt is often a sign that your faith has a pulse, that it’s alive and well and exploring and searching. Faith and doubt…are excellent dance partners….
Fundamentalism shouldn’t surprise us. When a leader comes along who eliminates the tension and dodges the paradox and neatly and precisely explains who the enemies are and gives black-and-white answers to questions, leaving little room for the very real mystery of the divine, it should not surprise us when that person gains a large audience.
Especially when that person is really, really confident.
Certainty is easier, faster, awesome for fundraising, and it often generates large amounts of energy because who doesn’t want to be right?…Two people can believe the same thing but hold that belief in very different ways.
You can believe something with so much conviction that you’d die for that belief, and yet in the exact same moment you can also say, “I could be wrong.”
This is because conviction and humility, like faith and doubt, are not opposites; they’re dance partners. It’s possible to hold your faith with open hands, living with great conviction and yet at the same time humbly admitting that your knowledge and perspective will always be limited.
Do you believe the exact same things you did in the exact same way you did five years ago? Probably not. You’ve grown, evolved, changed, had new experiences, studied, listened, observed, suffered, reflected, and reexamined. That’s how faith is. We learn as we go.

“I don’t really like big crowds
I tend to shut people out
I like my space, yeaaaah
but I’d love to have a soul mate”— Tori Kelly -
you are my happy place.
never mind the madness and tears and
rages, the endless pages of frustration
and bad, crushing conversations,you are my happy place,
and no-one, not even you,
can take that away from meno-one.

God’s Power in your Weakness
by Rick WarrenOur weaknesses increase our capacity for sympathy and ministry. We are far more likely to be compassionate and considerate of the weaknesses of others. God wants you to have a Christlike ministry on earth. That means other people are going to find healing in your wounds. Your greatest life messages and your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts. The things your most embarrassed about, most ashamed of, and most reluctant to share are the very tools God can use most powerfully to heal others.
The great missionary Hudson Taylor said, “All God’s giants were weak people.” Moses’ weakness was his temper. It caused him to murder an Eqyptian, strike the rock he was supposed to speak to, and break the tablets of the Ten Commandments. Yet God transformed Moses into “the humblest man on earth.”
Gideon’s weakness was low self esteem and deep insecurities, but God transformed him into a “mighty man of valor.” Abraham’s weakness was fear. Not once, but twice, he claimed his wife was his sister to protect him. But God transformed Abraham into the “father of those who have faith.” Impulsive, weak willed Peter, became “a rock,” the adulterer David became “a man after my own heart”, and John, one of the arrogant “Sons of Thunder,” became the “Apostle of Love.”
‘…other people are going to find healing in your wounds.’
The same same way we found healing in His wounds, let it be so that others will find healing in ours. In Jesus’ name.
