“And that’s what faith is. It’s not certainty in what we know; it’s confidence in who we know. If we had absolute truth, we wouldn’t need to have faith in God. In fact, we would be God.”

“Our emphasis on knowledge and belief over the past few hundred years has deceived us into thinking that thinking true thoughts is what matters in the Christian faith. This couldn’t be further from how the Bible talks about faith and, frankly, how it talks about truth. There are almost no places in the Bible where it endorses a view of truth as “believing the right doctrine.”

“For many of us, our faith informs our politics, so it’s no surprise they would be so related. I plead with you to learn to love your political enemy. And if your impulse is to think that the greatest form of love is to convince someone to come to “your side,” by whatever means necessary, I would ask you to reconsider.”
