To grow as people of faith, Christians need to be clear on what it is that they should be growing. It’s precisely our failure to be clear about that, that leads to so many well-meaning but misguided and sometimes harmful words and activities.
Many Christians have allowed culture more than Scripture to inform their concepts of faith, and as a result their attempts to faithfully live out their Christian “faith” result in errors of many kinds.
In some cases we adopt the “faith divorced from reason” position, affirming the need to “just believe.”
In other cases, Christians slip into the mystical “Oprah” version of faith,where knowledge plays little to no roleand people are left almost entirely at the mercy of feelings and emotions.
So what do we mean? What is faith?
And how does understanding faith help us in our day-to-day lives?
