Boxes and the Razors edge

I feel like all we have in Christianity today is boxes. John Eldredge says that Christian men have been put in a box. He claims that in todays churches man is being forced into being efeminite weaklings who have lost the warrior nature that is a part of how God created us. Box to Box. Sure that sounds great, the church has boxed in what a Christian man should be; But I find fault in that box and propose that we take a nice big step to what men are actually supposed to be. Hurry, Hurry, step into the 'out of the box' box to avoid being trapped by the other box.....?.....

We seem to be addicted to closing everything in around us, we can't get enough of it. Take spirituality, we have it broken down into six steps. A nice tidy box to set our lives in order. but what if our lives aren't intended for perfect order? What if our lives aren't supposed to be balanced? What if God desires us to Know him, but not to figure him out completely? It seems to me that we kill a relationship if we assume we have the other person totally figured out. Maybe the unknown is there to be unknown. Things we may never know. God has revealed himself to us, this light shines in an otherwise dark room revealing the center of the room where we sit like little children fidgeting nervously and all too acutely aware of the dark in the corners. Unsatisfied with what he has shown us, we want to know what is in those dark corners. But he hasn't revealed that to us. Does that mean that we should than reason out what is most likely to be in those corners in order to satisfy our fears and curiousities? Maybe instead we should try to take the harder road of trusting God in what he has revealed to us. This is the Razor's edge.

It is a narrow road. A hard road to balance in that trust zone. Relying on what hes given us instead of what we think we've figured out. How much of the church's arguments and divisions are over what the bible says, and how many divisions are based on doctrine and theological difference? The difference I mean is that Doctrine and Theology is our systematic categorization of what is revealed and its possible ramifications for how everything works. Essentially shining our reason like flashlights into the corners of the dark room. So we are divided over things such as predestination or legalistic issues of clothing and dance, when the bigger issues, the important ones that lay at the tip of the razor's edge are all but ignored. Left to the pile of issues that are 'a given'. Instead we fight and sacrifice our church to divisions over issues that we invented to fill the gaps that God didn't reveal. When instead we should be clinging for dear life to live out the truth he have been given.
