Tackling The Tensions

In this powerful message, we explore the concept of divine tensions in our faith journey. We're reminded that not all tension is negative - in fact, it's often necessary for growth and strength. Just as a suspension bridge needs tension to function, our spiritual lives often require us to hold seemingly contradictory truths in balance. The Bible itself is full of these 'divine tensions' or paradoxes - like being both a new creation and still being transformed, or experiencing both suffering and glory. Rather than seeing these as contradictions, we're encouraged to approach them with curiosity and humility, like Moses approaching the burning bush. By using our 'spiritual eyes' and stepping closer to investigate, we may find that these tensions are actually holy ground where God reveals Himself to us.
