We exist to encourage adventure (of every kind) so that people will experience a fuller life
This chapter helped us recognize how our Sherlock Holmes, and House t.v. show, addictions are really examples of how we are people who want to be right. We want to get that rush that comes from winning arguments, and searching out mysteries, instead of relating to things and people in the best way possible.
“You can be right, or you can have relationship, but you can’t have both.” (Author unknown)
As we explored the ideas and ways that Paul provides people in the S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields a way to understand and interact with God, we realize that we, personally, prefer that feeling of being right, or searching out mysteries until we feel good about our understanding of them, when we actually have to face the reality that we hold beliefs that have no proof, just like everybody else.
Whether we hold beliefs that we cannot be loved, or relationships aren’t for us, or that people are dumb, or…. Whatever the belief is, it is an internal vow we have made to control the amount of suffering we experience, and it is causing greater suffering to ourselves and others.
Paul writes letters to many different groups of people, calling every one of them to Christ, and the fullness of life available in letting go of control over our suffering just as Christ did. We will not, in this life, get our desires met as often as we want. But in sacrificing our belief that we can control how often we get our desires met, there is something better we can receive from God.
Will you choose the courage necessary to release your control over suffering and when you get your desires met? Is God worthy of the trust he asks us for?
You get to decide for yourself, and no one else.
