In reply to Laurie. Another great quote to add to my One Word Uncertainty list! Thanks, Laurie.

Lisa, your Bias topic is so interesting. I read recently that God is love and love is never afraid of questions. Not being allowed to question is a lack of freedom and love cannot operate unless their is freedom. I may not be making much sense, but when I read it, it made sense. God welcomes our questioning and does not feel bad about our questioning him or his truth.

Point 3 (Bias 10) is exactly what I have walked through recently. It is so challenging. I keep seeking God and trusting Him to show me what I need to know. So often I would go to people in my “group” instead of to God. Yes, we need people, but our first step should always be God. I’m learning little by little!

Your post made me think of this quote by Anne Lamott: “The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. Certainty is missing the point entirely. Faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns”

I have at times questioned why our church did (or didn’t) do certain things. We are not called to blindly accept words from the pulpit or any other source but to test everything against The Holy Scriptures. If you earnestly seek answers, God will lead you to the truth.

There have been times that I’ve questioned my faith and what came out of these times is a better understanding of it. I think it’s perfectly okay to do so.

Lisa, thank you again for hosting the link-up. I love what you said and agree completely, “Truth doesn’t change, but our understanding of it should. We need to release immature beliefs when we discover more accurate truths.” Examining/questioning our faith is a good thing. Healthy, even. It’s part of “working out our faith”. For me personally, I see my religion as a worldly “structure” in which to exercise my faith, while my faith is a very fluid, growing, active, led by the Holy Spirit way of living. Following Jesus is an adventure! Walls we construct through religion only hinders. Happy Valentine’s weekend!

I have just witnessed this gift of rereading! I hadn’t picked up A Severe Mercy for ages, and it was fun to read it from the standpoint of a 30 year marriage!
