Peter Enns Quote
Whether we are aware of it or not, behind our religious deliberations, in one form or another, we are really asking a deeply foundational question, What kind of God do I believe in, really? This is not a luxury question for those with idle time on their hands, but exactly the kind of question we should deliberately bring to the front of our consciousness as an expression of responsible faith; it is not evidence that our faith is weakening.
