This is a quote I pulled off of the Resonate web site. You can check out www.resonate.ca It is a good Canadian emergent site.
Brueggemann on certitude
"I found this Walter Brueggemann quote at The Ashram, and I pass it on here. I believe it speaks a vital truth.
"We all have a hunger for certitude, and the problem is that the Gospel is not about certitude, it's about fidelity. So what we all want to do if we can is immediately transpose fidelity into certitude, because fidelity is a relational category and certitude is flat, mechanical category. So we have to acknowledge our thirst for certitude and then recognize that if you had all the certitudes in the world it would not make the quality of your life any better because what we must have is fidelity."
What does this say to you?
Peace,
K
