Faith is not a notion but a real strong essential hunger an attracting or magnetic desire of Christ which as it proceeds from a seed of the divine nature in us so it attracts and unites with its like.

Red Letter Christians believe in the doctrines of the Apostle's Creed are convinced that the Scriptures have been inspired by the Holy Spirit and make having a personal transforming relationship with the resurrected Christ the touchtone of their faith.

When Christians start thinking about Jesus things start breaking down they lose their faith. It's perfectly possible to go to church every Sunday and not ask any questions just because you like it as a way of life. They fear that if they ask questions they'll lose their Christ the very linchpin of their religion.

Those of us who were brought up as Christians and have lost our faith have retained the sense of sin without the saving belief in redemption. This poisons our thought and so paralyses us in action.

The Christian faith can never be separated from the soil of sacred events from the choice made by God who wanted to speak to us to become man to die and rise again in a particular place and at a particular time.

In America now let us - Christian Jew Muslim agnostic atheist wiccan whatever - fight nativism with the same strength and conviction that we fight terrorism. My faith calls on its followers to love one's enemies. A tall order that - perhaps the tallest of all.

And it's one thing to give people freedom and something else to deny the rights of Christians to assert their faith in order to keep Hindus from feeling upset.

And that's the great thing about living the Christian life and trying to live by faith is you're trying to get better every day. You're trying to improve.

I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don't think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism Islam or other faiths.

Faith is part of who I am yes. I was raised Christian Scientist. The most important thing I saw every single week on the wall at Sunday school was the Golden Rule.
