Whoever sets any bounds for the reconstructive power of the religious life over the social relations and institutions of men, to that extent denies the faith of the Master.
To a certain extent I am taking a leap of faith. I'm adding up the evidence on either side, and I'm seeing the evidence of there not being a God is overwhelming compared to the evidence for there being a God.
God's got something for me. I have faith it'll be OK.
I am struck by the fact that personal faith and political agendas are intertwined more closely now than at any other time in recent history.
Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to.
Personal faith can be a powerful force for public good.
My faith grew strong, and I sent a letter (as I was ordered) to the Rev. Dignitary of the Cathedral of Exeter. I was assured, before I sent it, he would not answer it.
The doubt of an earnest, thoughtful, patient and laborious mind is worthy of respect. In such doubt may be found indeed more faith than in half the creeds.
Millions of Americans find community, comfort and support in their faith.
Faith given back to us after a night of doubt is a stronger thing, and far more valuable to us than faith that has never been tested.
