Sometimes We Doubt our Faith
"I have of late received e-mails from some who are facing severe doubts about their life and about the Christian faith, and I have no capacity here to dissolve doubts by cooking them dry on some apologetic stove — by and large I don’t think doubts are dissolved so much as they are, by faith, put on our shoulders to be carried along with us. In other words, I think doubt and faith are not opposites; faith sometimes is what demonstrates doubt. Or, faith sometimes demonstrates doubt."

Interesting. If we have faith in something we can't see, then we see it later, does that destroy our faith? If I say, Pastor, I have $20 for you in my hand and all you have to do is open it, do you have faith there's a $20 there or do you doubt it? In this case they seem opposites. But, if you say, yes, you have the $20, and I open up my hand and there is a $20, well, it isn't faith anymore cause you can see and touch it. In this case, doubt is not the opposite. Interesting indeed.
