Christians and Christianity do not have all the answers that can be expressed in words. There are some things that simply defy explanation. One of the most powerful things a Christian can say to a person overwhelmed with the inexplicable in life is absolutely nothing.
When you’re drowning in life, it’s essential to have some people close to you who are floating on the surface, splashing the water so you know which way is up.
One of the unfortunate and avoidable aspects of Christianity and Christians today is that we have a tendency to be deceived back into the shadow of shame. We try to cover it up. We conceal our questions, doubts and confusion.
