Chesterton confronted many arguments against Christianity, and on his word, there was only one he saw as "unanswerable": Christians not acting like Christ.
God will not use a person in whose heart he does not reign. So, if God is going to do anything through me, he must be the most important to me. This is one of the most important lessons I have learned--and it took me far too long to learn it. For three other lessons I've learned during a recent life change, check out the link in the bio.
Inherited Belief Is Not Inherently Bad
"Faith is not something that goes against evidence; it goes beyond it. The evidence is saying to us 'There is another country. There is something beyond mere reason." -- Alister McGrath
"The supreme function of reason is to show man that some things are beyond reason." –Blaise Pascal
"Reason assesses, faith trusts. Reason assesses whether or not something or someone is trustworthy, and then faith believes that certain things are true in light of the reasons. Not blind faith, but a reasonable step of trust.
Religious is not inherently blind.
"To move from �religion to secularism �is not so much a loss of faith �as a shift into �a new set of beliefs �and into a new �community of faith, �one that draws the lines between orthodoxy and heresy in different places." –Timothy Keller, Making Sense of God
Why did I choose the name “Bread & Fish” for the online home for my work?
