My First Time...Thoughts on "Faith"
Well I guess it's my turn to start blogging. Being that I am a religious person, I guess most of my posts will have at least a hint of things having to do with faith. I can't think of anything in my life that has nothing to do with my faith. Family, friends, beliefs (religious or otherwise), they are all in some way related to faith....at least for me. As a Christian, I am a bit concerned that my faith has become exactly that. Mine. Although I do believe in a "personal" relationship with God, perhaps my faith has become too personel. Maybe the more personal it becomes, the less I have to share it. Maybe modern Western Christians in our zeal to fit in have become content to relegate faith to something deeply personal. As long as we keep it inside, we don't have to debate it, we don't have to defend it....heck, we dont even really have to believe it as long as we say we have it and leave it at that, it is smooth sailing in our culture. I don't think I can partake in a faith that is worth keeping quiet. What do you think?
