Crucible of ThoughtCounting the Cost of ChangeIt's fascinating to look at the topic of "doubt" in Christian publications and web posts. In article after article, there are calls to recognize the incalculable cost of doubting, and the need for unquestioning belief at all costs.
But "doubt" and "unbelief" are most certainly not the same.
So here's my question: How often do we cling to something not because we believe it, but because we can't risk not believing it?
