Real Beliefs Are Reflected In Actions

“A great way to find out if you really believe something is whether you are ready to act as if [the belief] were true or real in everyday life.” McDowell & Morrow.  We can talk about our beliefs but what we really believe tends to be reflected pretty accurately in our actions.

Faith And Reason Go Together

“Mainstream Christianity has always emphasized that faith and reason go together.  Indeed, biblical faith is trust in God because he has shown himself to be reliable and trustworthy.” McDowell & Morrow. Faith does not include absolute proof—otherwise it wouldn’t be faith—on the other hand, faith does not have to involve an unreasonable, blind leap in the dark.
