certain about uncertainty

“It is not the place but the Presence that upholds you; This is your only certainty.”
-Erwin McManus

"My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going'
-
Tomas Merton


Heisenberg said it first..
..Well, Paul preached it first:
"We walk by faith,
and not by sight;
so certainly this is not certainty." ( 2 Cor 5.17)


and Abraham lived it:

"By faith, Abraham left home, completely uncertain about where he was going"
Heb 11.8

SK knew it, Ellul prophesied it

Bono, of course, has sung it

Anne Lamott has nailed it: "The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty"
Len has a video on it..

Now it's Andy Stanley (!) 's turn
