We are surely involved in a very fine-line religion....God's kingdom.
Just about the time we think we have things figured out, God will move the yard markers. He warned us to remain flexible like being blown about by varying wind currents...Jn. 3:-3-8.
Whether church shepherd, pulpit minister, or committee chair, we are to be on our toes to avoid imposing humanistic reason onto the church scene. God's ways are not our ways. We quote Him on this....only too often to proceed with "our way" of conducting business.
Just about the time the church has God nailed down, He slips the knots. He is a master at doing business beyond the minds of the one or the many. We can't figure God. We can only believe Him and trust Him.
Considering the scramble God caused that one Sunday morning in the cemetery, we surely can afford to be reminded that God can do anything when He gets ready. Our job is to be ready for His readiness. However, our habit is more inclined to believe God operates under the same umbrella as we....reason.
Fortunately for us....He doesn't.

Yes, yes, yes. I think one of the great failings of the Western church has been the desire to box God in with syllogisms.
