Faith & Doubt

I read ch. 13 of McLaren's "The Secret Message of Jesus" today. On p. 109 he answers "How does one measure faith?" He says, "Jesus answered this as well: if you say you believe in his message, but you don't seek to practice it, your faith is a matter of words only; it's not substantial, not real. Faith that counts, then, is not the absence of doubt; it's the presence of action."

This was a good "basic" chapter on what it means to follow Jesus. He says it's 'rethinking life, believing/trusting God, receiving what Jesus has done, going public with this new belief/thought system, and practicing a new way of life as a result.'

Peace friends. Revolution always.
