Searching for Enough: The High-Wire Walk Between Doubt and Faith

by Tyler Staton

The Bible isn’t the only story. There are plenty of other stories painting different portraits of an all-powerful Designer with exclusive truth claims. The myriad of available religious, mystical, and philosophical stories makes this absolutely clear: An all-powerful Creator is not necessarily “good news.” It all depends on what the Creator does with all that power. The life of Jesus claims that the all-powerful God of the universe is loving, kind, and merciful. He is for you, not against you. In Jesus, God undressed himself of every speck of divinity that might separate you from him. He came down to our level. He lived among us. Faced what we face. Was tempted as we are. Took on pain as we must. He humbled himself, weakened himself, emptied himself—all for the sake of one loving pursuit: a restored relationship with you.
