Some times I worry.
some times I worry
that faith is a fact.
where questioning is unfaith,
and life is blind faith.
sometimes I worry
that doubting
is dangerous
as if all the mysteries
of the universe
can be summed up
in a few sermons and songs.
some times I worry,
that a Bible College
equips one
to answer every question
by silencing all objections,
rejecting all disenters,
imposing discipline
borders,
and barriers.
some times I worry
that our minds are rendered unnecessary
by a good dose of prayer and bible reading.
other times I am grateful
that there are those who will
ask, seek, knock,
explore, read, enquire,
research, and dig
into the wealth of knowledge
that is there for us all.
Thanks God for them,
they show us just how necessary they are.
In particular,
they made all the wiser
by our shortsightedness.

Amen to that!
Thanks for the encouragement. I fear that the church is losing it's reflection and fascination on the life of Jesus and is veering into issues that really cannot be seen as an expression of "Christlikeness".
Basically, completely agree. I refuse to believe God gave us brains but doesn't want us to use them.
