So I have been pondering the concept of “faith” recently. This past Sunday I shared with our congregation that I really don’t like faith. I have come to believe that “faith” is NOT a word used to describe our religious beliefs and activities, but a verb that is almost synonymous with risk, uncertainty and utter dependence. Most of the time, if I am honest, I really want God to lead me into a place where faith is no longer necessary. Much of my obsession in the midst of trials that require faith involve getting out of that trial as quickly and painlessly as possible.
