Reflection on Doubt

"I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"  Mark 9:24 NIV

What a relief that Jesus didn't turn away from this man...this father.

We talked tonight about doubts/questions that we have with our faith.  Some of the questions that arose were:

• Why does God allow so much pain and suffering?
• What about the "type" of baptism that I had?
• Why doesn't God answer my prayers?
• How do I know that I'm saved?  I don't always have confidence in my salvation.

As you look at the resources listed in this blog and reflect on your own life this week, think about your own doubts.  What doubts do YOU have?  Feel free to comment below.  My guess is that if you have had this doubt, so have others.  Let's get the conversation going!

Also, if you have other resources that you would like to bring to our attention, please comment and list them.

If you are uncomfortable sharing your questions/comments publicly, I have set this blog to allow anonymous posts but I will moderate all comments to make sure that our conversation stays appropriate and respectful.  After all, this is a public blog and others may be curious to see what we are discussing.  You can also email me directly if you would like me to find research to address a specific question/topic anonymously.
