The more tightly the church is tethered to Jesus, the more freely it can move into the world. Its creativity, its adaptability, its capacity to incarnate the gospel in a thousand cultural forms, all of it flows from that one living connection. The church has one proper inner orientation, to be as transparent a vessel as possible for the form of Christ. - Alan Hirsch @alanhirsch

“These welcomes are based on lies that Australia is not our home. We don’t need or want to be welcomed to our own home” - Pauline Hanson

NEW EPISODE in your feeds! Don't miss the scandal of Caesar Salad-gate!

A faith without some doubts is like a human body with no antobodies in it. People who blithely go through life too busy or indifferent to ask the hard questions about why they believe as they do will find themselves defenseless against either the experience of tragedy or the probing questions of a smart skeptic. A person's faith can collapse almost overnight if she failed over the years to listen patiently to her own doubts, which should only be discarded after long reflection.
