Doubt Fuels Faith
If you have not experienced doubt then you cannot experience faith, for faith is hardly faith without some level of doubt. If people are healed every single time you pray for them, is that faith or physics? I do not have real faith in gravity, because I do not doubt it. It does not challenge…

Sleeping through Chaos the Jesus Way
In the Genesis creation story, before the world had any structure at all, it was nothing more than a chaotic sea of water. He did not do away with this chaos entirely, but he gave it boundaries and raised up land as order in the midst of it. One had to be careful when approaching…
