In another thread, the idea has been raised that asking questions about one's faith, and finding an answer in some other source than sacred writ is somehow wrong, sinful, or detrimental to one's faith. (Also there is another thread that wonders if preaching from the Lectionary leaves impirtant truths [i.e. presumed answers to questions] out of the picture altogether.) Just wondering if anyone had questions of faith that sacred writ doesn't address.
This evening, driving home from work, I came up behind a Christmas-red car at a stop light. The licence plate read "IWNT2BLV". Wow! I thought - now there's the Christmas Eve sermon...title and all. I wanted to get the driver to pull over, and ask "What do you want to believe? Why? What do you believe?" But the light changed to green, and we were off in the home-going traffic.
The questions remain. Was this person looking for some kind of faith? Not Christian, just faith. What did she want to believe? Why? Did she have any beliefs?
