We all put our faith in something, and we do so every single day. So the real question isn’t whether or not we should have faith. The more important question is who or what should we put our faith in, and why? And further, if faith is such an enormous part of our everyday experience, why don’t we pay any attention to it?

Think before you leap. Real faith requires that we have a knowledge about who we put our faith in and what good it does for us.
Each of us has a burning desire to understand the deeper things in life. The only way to come to understand, rather than simply feel, is to recruit our intellect. When we choose to pursue faith, we must keep our eyes and minds wide open, but we must keep our hearts open as well. We must find the balance between learning, reading, and seeking answers on the one hand and following answers that we feel God is giving us on the other. We should seek and then when God answers, find what He gives us. So where do we start?
