Author, Christian, and Theologian C.S. Lewis stated that "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." Far too often we rely upon the matters that we can see, touch, and hear more than the faith it requires to be bold in a world that is filled with darkness. The battles we fight are not in the material, but in the spiritual realm. Faith is a matter of evidence and not blind obedience. We are to be obedient, however we are not called to have no reasoning behind it.

God invites us to come and gather together with Him with the intent of reason and understanding of the truth. Isaiah 1:18 gives us this beautiful invitation, and God in turn gives us a glimpse of His divine plan of salvation. Sin shatters the soul, but His grace and forgiveness restores it. Only through Jesus Christ is this possible, and only by faith in His finished work is repentance made, restoration accomplished, and reconciliation found.

May the Lord continue to bless you and keep you.
