Six Articles of Faith

Then suddenly they decided to broadcast them on Saturdays as well, so I was looking for a group of six things. Easy to come up with the articles of faith, though not so easy to talk about to non-believers.

We often talk nowadays as though anything that isn't tangible is unimportant. But there's more to life than the five senses. There's a whole world of imagination, ideas, and understandings. It's in that world that matters of faith are crucially important, for they enable us to make sense of our lives.

Most people don't go to church, but they know that there's more to life than being a microscopic speck of matter lost in an infinite universe for a barely noticeable moment in the endlessness of time. We may not be able to prove it, but we know that our lives are more important than the scientific facts would suggest.

That knowledge is at the core of our being, programmed into us, an ability to recognize and understand the truth of our creation. You'll never come up with a scientific proof for the existence of our Creator and Sustainer, but look inside yourself or outside at the universe, and God is there for you to see. Just as a potter leaves his fingerprints in his clay, we can see the hand of the Creator in Creation.
