Believe Nothing? - A Lenten Minute for Mar. 7

Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.” - John 4:48

Technology today has changed Edgar Allan Poe's quote, "Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear." to "Believe nothing that you see or hear." Indeed, the special effects that we see in the movies today only makes it that much harder to believe in what we cannot see.  And yet, that is what faith is all about - the ability to believe in something that cannot be seen or touched.  Faith is a choice.  We can choose to believe in God, or not.  Fortunately, even when we choose to not believe in God, God still believes in us.  And when all else fails in our lives, it is exactly that unseen faith which can give us the strength to persevere.
