Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
"But if the Witch could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who has committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards." - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

The man who lives in contact with what he believes to be a living Church is a man always expecting to meet Plato and Shakespeare tomorrow at breakfast. He is always expecting to see some truth that he has never seen before. --Chesterton

::And of God and his promises.

Yes, but I think the certainty comes in acting on our intellectual knowledge of God and His promises: "in being lived they are made one", as Martin Buber would say.

Member of the 2456317 club. I got yelled at for explaining what this was, so if you want to know I guess you'll have to ask.
