Safe

Very rarely in life do we find ourselves in a place that is truly safe. We spend out time guarding our beliefs, watching our confession and shying away from our challenges to the system (whatever system that may be).

It seems that we always live in a place where we are in fear of being devoured, not by God but by each other. Can we find safe places for our doubts, our confusions and our challenges? And is church one of them?

I used to have an over-inflated sense of the safety in church. That is, until I had attended a few voter’s meetings as an adult.

I still feel safer struggling with doubts and confusion inside the church. I am glad that we’re having these conversations in a place where wisdom can be imparted (and that we’re having the conversations, period). When we struggle with those things outside of the church, who knows what kind of advice we’ll get or where it comes from?

When people are asking questions and staying involved in the church, that is also encouraging.
