Reflection for the Week - July 1

Life and the Christian life don't seem to be about resolution, but tension. Questions about God’s goodness, nature, and living as a Christian in a terribly messy world, for example, are unresolved and thus continue to be an existential part of it all. Doubt is ever present, but it doesn't reign. I never start at zero, because I live on the basis of accumulated information and experience, yet the theological, philosophical, and scientific mysteries remain open to further investigation in the sphere of what is known and still unknown.
