Most of us don’t think too much about belief or religion in our world because our lives are too busy for it. We are not concerned with what’s true or what’s right; we’re concerned with what “works.” And so we don’t think much about what’s true or what we believe; we mostly think about whether what’s happening in our lives works for us. And much of modern life works really well, and so people start to think of faith and belief as something that’s pretty irrelevant. Why do I really need Church or faith when my life is working pretty well? And that works fine, until life stops working.
This is why what we believe matters. Because truth runs deeper than utility. What’s true matters more than what works. And so you need a deeper truth to be rooted in that can help you keep going even when life stops working. And this is why we’re doing a series where we’re looking at what followers of Jesus throughout history have believed to be true about God, the Church, faith, and the life God created.
