I can think of two main ways that we have to live by faith in our everyday lives. The first one is trusting God that He actually cares about us and will work everything out.
We're not supposed to have blind faith. OK, but what does true faith actually look like?
Faith is sometimes described as “believing something when you know it isn’t true.” That’s actually not faith. The technical term for that is “delusion.”
Really, what we’re asking when we ask this question is: Which translation is closest to the original? And the answer is...
(Note: I apologize for the audio. I was trying something new with my video feed, and it didn’t work that well. Next week, I’ll be back to normal).
From time to time, most of us have had that feeling that something is wrong. Our gut just tells us that something is off and shouldn’t be the way it is. But, the question is: now what? Where do you go from here?
The whole idea of a “right path through life” is enormous and complicated. Is there a right path? How would I know if and when I found it? What would a right path even look like anyway? These are really important questions, and they will take a lot of time to unpack. And, we’ll get to them.
But, how about instead of trying to get there in a single magnificent leap, what if we took one small step? What if we do enough to get us started in the right direction, and then we can take other steps after that? I think that might be a little easier for all of us.
Before quarantine, many of us seemed to move from one temporarily fun thing to another. Now that our lives have been disrupted, we have a chance to remake them. What should they look like going forward?
It seems like these days, everyone is pretty much cheering for their own side like they’re watching a sporting event. You know, our side is always best, the refs are always unfair, and no matter what happens, we’re going to cheer for our side. Christianity should not be that way.
Why do you do what you do? Do you do something because it’s right? Or, do you do something because that’s what the people around you are doing? That’s a really important question with the way things have been going lately.
I'm going to start doing weekly live videos in addition to my longer podcast topics. What I'm really hoping to accomplish is to be able to have something like a conversation with the people watching. So, please ask questions, make comments, and tell me when I'm wrong. This is the first live video, and I basically just tell you what I'm planning on doing.
Also, I know the audio is bad in this video. The test went better, so idk what happened. I'll try to get it right next time.
