when in doubt...

My pastor suggested the following for when I experience doubt:

Express skepticism openly
Remain in community
Cling to the core of the Gospel

I was encouraged.

From Dorothy Sayers

"...in the world it calls itself Tolerance; but in hell it is called despair... It is the sin which believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, loves nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and only remains alive because there is nothing it would die for..."
