FaithFaith and Reason
Christian communities can criticize and resist current trends toward faith deconstruction, but they may only succeed in pushing more people out into the wilderness where they are less likely to find the life-giving waters for which they thirst.
By remembering what God has done for us and joining in Jesus’ sacrifice of thanks, we find a momentary rest for our souls and a means of reordering our desires toward God.
