Tension is a tough reality in life, isn’t it? Most of us probably spend a portion of our time trying to avoid tension in life. We tend to think of tension as something harmful to our lives and even our faith. We’re wrong.
Think about it. Tension within a team pushes them to better perspectives and deeper relationships. Tension between the parties and branches of a government creates a needed system of checks and Tension has critical value in every phase of our lives even as followers of Jesus. Jesus calls us to engage the culture without caving it to it. Jesus calls His to Church to a life and service of no compromise.
