Probability, motion, and faith

This world offers no stability. We are governed by the reality of probability, tension, and faith. Nothing is sure, nothing is sound. We drive to work and school knowing that nothing guarantees the safety of our commute. We are perpetually out on a limb, so to speak. In every motion, decision, advance, commitment, investment, we are governed by faith, by trust, by counting on something outside of ourselves. Metaphysics is drama. Watching musicians and actors perform puts us on the edge of our seats; there is always great potential for failure and disappointment, but this is precisely what excites us; it is the thrill of motion and relationship. Indeed, it is the thrill of this universe. And as we dramatize this tension we testify and bear witness to a Triune God who is both tension and faithfulness. The eternal rest of God is motion, and the torment and agony of hell is stagnancy.
