Musings of a Non-Conformist: Living in the Center of Biblical Tension
The older I get and the more I learn, the greater the disparity of what is certain. That doesn’t mean we can’t know truth. It means that, as the bible says, “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law” (Deuteronomy 29:29). There is truth God has revealed and promises that he has made that we can tightly hold on to, and they will give us hope and a future. Yet, the secret things will be held in the vault of heaven for eternity. In between the revealed and the secret are the the mysteries, the hidden things that God wants us to search through our creative, and inquisitive minds. Musings of a non-conformist explores the biblical worldveiw through the lens of tension that comes when the Bible teaches two contradictory truths. It begins with stories of our biblical heroes and how they stood out as non-conformists. I hope you enjoy.
