It's hard to just listen to what the Book is saying, without
filtering it through our theology and fitting it into a tidy little theological
box. When a verse or story doesn't support my view, and sounds almost like it
could be used to support the other view, that makes me nervous, and I feel the
need to quote verses that support my view to make me feel better.

I suspect that this is at least part of what he means when
he tells us to renew our minds [Romans 12:3, Ephesians 4:23]
To my great surprise, that state of NOT having answers is
becoming more comfortable, more comforting to me. It's in THAT place where
Father can whisper to me, not so much his interpretation, but his heart on the
matter.
I love it when he does that. I value hearing his whisper,
his breath, as far more important to me than having perfect little theological
boxes.
So if you find me posting about, or musing about
uncomfortable things here, you may want to skip over them, and keep your
theological boxes in tidy order. Or you may want to jump in and look for what
God's breathing on there.
