Reflections on my life from my perspective.

What a great weekend. Got to visit with a great guy that may end up on our church staff. For the last three years our staff has worked well as a team, but without a preaching minister. I am excited as I think of God adding this person to our team. God has taught us all a lot about faith in Him, rather than in a man over the last three years. Now I'm looking forward to learning even more as God speaks through His man.

I have recenly begun a few interesting conversations with some students. Most center around "having it all figured out" vs. "accepting some mystery as a part of faith." These should definately be fun and real honest. One of the greatest things I love about working with students is that they can cut through the crap pretty quickly and be very honest. With their permission, I will try to include some of these conversations on my blog for others to chew on.

A cool quote a came across recently:
"Doubt is but another element of faith."- Augustine.

Is it possible that God allows for doubt because he knows that it leads me to more faith. It seems to me that without some amount of doubt I really have no need for faith. I mean, if faith is supposed to be tied into being sure of what I cannot see, then total irrifutable proof might actually lead me away from, rather than towards a deeper faith. However, if I continue to follow this line, I'm going to have to rethink my thoughts on apologetics as it relates to evangelism. As usual, I don't have this figured out, and...well...that may just be a very good thing.
