“It is time that we admitted that faith is nothing more than the license religious people give one another to keep believing when reasons fail.”
“There have been times of late when I have had to hold on to one text with all my might: "It is required in stewards that a man may be found faithful." Praise God, it does not say "sucessful.”
“We are so dependent on one another for faith. We hold faith communally, but there is no such thing as faith held communally but by no one in particular. There is nothing that completely transcends the individual. It is true that this person or that person may waiver from time to time. But at all times there must be someone holding it up. Jesus chose Peter exactly for this purpose. "You will be my rock," he said. And Peter had to bear faith, believe even when no one else could.”
“A true helpmate is not a blind follower, but rather she is a faithful friend and a wise sister in Christ who understands the seriousness of sin”
“Creativity requires faith. Faith requires that we relinquish control.”
