How do you approach paradox? What biblical or life paradoxes cause you to question, doubt, or enrich your faith? What paradoxes have caused you to stumble and trip? Have you spent time listening to others concerns and questions on matters of faith, contradiction, paradox?
I hope that you find the variety and compassion present in this issue both uplifting and supportive in your walk. It has been my experience that as I let go of my previous notions and sense of confidence in specific theological ideas, a new wave of peace and surrender flows in from the Lord.
