When the Pieces Don't Fit: Making Sense of the Puzzles of Faith

Autor Karen Mason
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2008
There are many "either-or" truths. Either Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is enough for the forgiveness of our sins or it isn't. Either we serve God or we don't. But what about those truths that seem like opposites? Is Jesus God or man? Do we have to be perfect or can we never be perfect? We are more comfortable when we don't have to live in the tension between two puzzle pieces that look like they don't fit or are contradictions. The author shows us how to resolve life's contradictions and live in a trusting relationship with God.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Does faith sometimes seem like a puzzle to you ?
Some say that faith requires simple trust; others insist that it involves work. Who is right? And how can we know?
"When the Pieces Don t Fit "will help you understand that your perceptions are not always God s reality. The picture God is creating is bigger and more complex than the few puzzle pieces you have in your hands.
We want faith to be simple and straightforward. We want clear answers. We want right and wrong to be either one thing or another. Is it better to turn the other cheek or to stand up against bigotry and injustice? How can you love others and yourself? How can you be wonderfully made yet sinful from birth? Is it safe to assume that all mental distress is spiritual in nature or can it also be a physical condition?
To avoid the distress and misunderstanding of this kind of either-or thinking, we need to open our eyes to see a God who is bigger than our limited perceptions, who deals in a both-and universe where seeming opposites can both be true under certain circumstances.
To see how this works, we need spiritual vision. We need eyes of faith that see past the perplexities of day-to-day troubles to the greater glory that awaits those who seek God with all their hearts and who resist the temptation to trust their own understanding.
"When the Pieces Don t Fit "offers you a perspective that allows you to see beyond your circumstances."
