Faith

Christians without fear of big questions

Mark as read

Faith is not protected by running away from hard questions.

UFOs, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and the vastness of the universe raise questions that can make us uncomfortable. But making us uncomfortable does not mean destroying. A mature faith does not need to cover its ears. It can ask, study, converse, and acknowledge what it does not yet know. The important thing is not to turn doubt into mockery or panic. Christ does not ask for a switched-off intellect. He asks for a humble reason, capable of seeking the truth without losing trust in God. Believing does not mean giving up on questions. A mature faith studies, listens, and distinguishes between an honest doubt and an excuse for changing nothing in one's own life.

Key idea

Big questions can purify a small faith.

Your challenge for this idea

Formulate a difficult question about faith without attacking it or defending yourself: just seeking to understand better.
