I have often heard it said that
Christianity is living in contradictions.

On the issue of eternal security, and other seeming
contradictions, I like to listen to Wayne Watson's (choose one:
amazing, inspiring, inspired, awesome) song, The Fine Line.
Quoted here from memory, so please forgive any errors:

There's a fine line
between contentment and greed
between the things that I want
and the things that I need
between "enough is enough"
and where desires breed
there's a fine line

Oh, it's a fine line
between taking bread with a lost man
and being consumed by his way while reaching out in love
Oh, yes it's a fine line!

So where do I walk?
Where is my place?
The straight and the narrow -
The road of Grace
Holding on to You
Walking at your pace
Walking *on* the fine line. (emphasis mine)


The point is, there *IS* a fine line between many issues, and it
can seem confusing and difficult to make out. The important
thing is to hold fast to Jesus, the Rock of our Salvation, the
Cornerstone of our Faith. Jesus has no trouble seeing the fine
line, and if we walk with Him, we'll follow that line.

Just because we have trouble seeing it doesn't mean it's not
there. The only *right* place to walk is *ON* the line.
Fortunately, it's a road of GRACE, not GREASE. Jesus holds on
to us so that we will not slip off the road.
