5 Things Christians Say, But Few Believe

[phkrause]

Belief is to Christianity as a motor is to a car. It’s essentially the whole thing. As followers of the Way, we are told to walk by faith, not trust our eyes, and see that which cannot be seen.

Not having seen Jesus, we put our trust in him.

Not having touched the Father, we still pray to him day after day.

As a believer, you kind of have to – believe in order to qualify. Most of us understand that, and so we do our darned best to conjure up a smidgen of belief. We fake it until we make it. We hope that if we say it enough times, it’ll finally become true. We hope that maybe, just maybe God will be like Cinderella’s fairy godmother, and turn our mouse sized faith into a team of horses that bring a chariot to the palace.

Here are 5 things that most Christians say, but for the time being – don’t believe.

When the Bible "disrupts what we think SHOULD be true, we rarely bend our belief structure to match.... We come up with explanations faster than a two bit magician comes up with fake doves up his sleeve."
