Christianity has always embraced both reason and faith.
The mere assemblage of peace loving people to interchange convincing reasons for their common faith mere exhortation and argument to the public in favor of peace in general fall short of the mark.
These are strange times. Reason which once combatted faith and seemed to have conquered it now has to look to faith to save it from dissolution.
As reason is a rebel to faith so passion is a rebel to reason.
Man is wise and constantly in quest of more wisdom but the ultimate wisdom which deals with beginnings remains locked in a seed. There it lies the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls forth faith rather than reason.
The balance between faith and reason is for the determination of each individual and of the people as a whole not of unauthorized government officials uttering impious humbug as they arbitrarily try to define that balance.
My faith inspires me so much. It is the very reason that I run. I feel that my running is completely a gift from God and it is my responsibility to use it to glorify him.
I never search for a reason why - I have faith in the Lord's purpose.
Such a faith would be fatal to my reason to my liberty and even to the success of my undertakings it would immediately transform me into a stupid slave an instrument of the will and interests of others.
Faith is not a sense nor sight nor reason but taking God at His work.
