If I Believe, Why Do I Doubt?
- Updated Nov 08, 2007
We have just posted a new sermon on the website called If I Believe, Why Do I Doubt? Here’s an
excerpt:
"In times of trouble, keep going back to what you know to be true.
When I hit my 50th birthday five years ago, I realized that I believe less now
than I did 30 years ago. Back then I thought I had everything totally figured
out. Life has a way of knocking us down a few pegs. That’s certainly happened to
me. So on one level, I don’t have total certainty about all the details of
theology. In a sense, my knowledge is both greater and smaller than it was three
decades ago. But what I know, I really know. I have a handful of
convictions that cannot be shaken. I would include in that short list these
truths: God is good, Jesus is Lord, the Bible is true, life is short, every day
is a gift, people matter more than things, fame is fleeting, this world is not
my home, and even hard times are meant for my benefit. And at the core of my
faith is an unshakable belief in the sovereignty of God. He’s God and I’m not.
He is sovereign over all the details of my life, and I can trust him completely
even when those details seem to be spinning out of control."
