If you and your church were to disappear off the face of the earth tomorrow, would anyone in the community around you notice you were gone? And if the community did even notice would they say 'we are really glad they are gone', or 'we are really going to miss them'?

Honor the image of God. Human beings are not accidents, but creations.

While we want doubts to give way to faith, we should be merciful and patient with those who are still in a doubt-troubled place.

If God exists then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling can matter forever.

If you come to recognize the beliefs on which your doubts about Christianity are based, and if you seek as much proof for those beliefs as you seek from Christians for theirs - you will discover that your doubts are not as solid as they first appeared.

The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.

We were designed to know, serve, and love God supremely - and when we are faithful to that design, we flourish.
