God isn't restrained by our attempts at theology any more than God is restrained by the walls of our churches. We endeavor to systemize this unknowable mystery with acronyms and charts and pamphlets, but these cannot begin to secure the wildness, the ferocity, the untamed tamer of chaos.

What if our job really is to love people, in all their impossibilities, with all their untidy lines and uncomfortable beliefs and inconvenient circumstances?

If tragedy never strikes, performative faith will serve you just fine. If no one ever disappoints you, it's fine. If you're never confronted with new information, it's fine. Because you're not actually taking God seriously, you're taking yourself seriously. You have faith in your performance, and God really doesn't have much to do with it

ME: Who isn't sure about inerrancy but loves the Bible while also being weirded out by it. Who is weirded out by the Bible, but can really get on board with Jesus. Who is also sometimes extremely puzzled & even annoyed by Jesus. Who doesn't feel like there's any time to sort any of it out, they just continue to live, frustrated by the attempt to reconcile a good faith in a world that seems to only applaud a bad one.
