“Living in hope comes from seeing things the way they really are. It starts with checking our own perspectives before trying to influence the perspectives of others. It’s about changing from the inside out.”

“we doubt, we acknowledge our fallibility and humanity. We’re admitting we don’t have all the answers (and that some of the answers we thought we had have turned out to be wrong), but we want to keep discovering. We want to grow “in grace and knowledge” (2 Pet 3:18). Doubters at least have a chance of moving beyond superficial spirituality. If we don’t ask, seek, and knock, we can end up with a faith that is about as deep as a roadside puddle. If we decide to cast our lot with popular religion, with its bumper-sticker theology and emotional hysteria, we will be on a broad road traveled by many people.”
