Understanding Faith
In the secular world, I think it has gotten a bad rap.
Understanding is the reward of faith.
Therefore, seek not to understand that thou mayest believe, but believe that thou mayest understand.
Saint Augustine of Hippo
Walking by faith seems too out of control, too insane to be good advice. Instead the best way, secularist might say, is to run tests, conduct focus groups, and take surveys, before committing to going in one direction or another.
The problem with living the controlled and calculated life, besides the fact it can’t be done, is that it always seems to lead us away from joy.
