this Sunday’s message

The title of this Sunday’s message is “When Theology and Reality Collide!”

We’ve all had thoughts about God, life or whatever that have left us wandering whether or not they were true. . . whether or not our beliefs were true or just something made up or that someone told us to make us be good.

So what happens when what we believe and what we experience in life don’t add up? What do we do when our worldview or our perspective on life is. . . wrong?

Those of us who are church goers are sometimes hesitant to ask questions about God or to question God directly. But Job’s story makes us ask some really hard questions about what we say we believe and what we actually experience in life.

I’m totally pumped about this Sunday’s message. . . and a little nervous too. But I can’t wait to dig in and unpack Job 5!

known, unknown, and unknowable

Per a Jewish Rabbi’s discussion on NPR the other day, today I am contemplating the known, the unknown, and the unknowable.

It seems that, regardless of our faith, these are three theological and epistemological categories that we would all do to consider.

The rabbi pointed out the danger of substituting one category for another.  For example, substituting the unknownable with what we know.
