Faith vs reason
Many Christians perceive a conflict between reason and faith. On the one hand, God tells us to reason.

So we attempt to show unbelievers that our belief in the Scriptures is reasonable, justified, and logically defensible. The Bible makes sense.
On the other hand, we are supposed to have faith. We are supposed to trust God and not lean on our own understanding. It seems that we are supposed to trust God regardless of whether His words make sense to our understanding.
