Redefining faith
We often talk about faith has believing in a set of truths, or our faith in our theology and ethics. And as a result, as Christians we get ridiculed for having blind faith. I am reading Bruxy Cavey's book, The End of Religion and came across this great insight into faith...
"Faith is not so much a cognitive word, used to describe a list of things that we accept as true whether reasonable to believe or not. Rather, faith is a relational word. It means trust or trustworthiness....Faith is the belief or trust in a person that moves us to act lovingly and loyally toward that person."
I would encourage you to give this book a read. Its not long, but is a great read.
