I am Concerned about Doubt
Doubt is normal. The claims of faith are enormous
and, by any
reasonable standard, should kindle in us confusion,
questions,
uncertainties and doubts.
Not that God wants to leave us there.
But we have to start the faith journey by being
shaken free
from old ways. That process of newness happens
again
and again. ...
Wanting to know God is far more important than
thinking of
oneself as already having arrived.
Faith is a journey, not a
destination. There is always more.

was 22 years old at the time of his arrest.
Haven?t U.S. presidents said for decades that
increasing trade
with China would lead to greater attention to human
rights
there? Wasn?t that always the argument for
normalizing
relations with Beijing ... ?

among others), one might expect The Gospel

and a dollar short? category. Far from it. ...
