Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 13, 2007

Should we question our faith? Lets start there. The short answer is YES we should and can question our faith. You can be sure that an unbelieving world will be right there pointing an accusatory finger at us saying prove it.

Is it wrong to question our faith? Questions, we all have hundreds and thousands of questions. It is one of the ways we learn. The other day a co-worker asked me a really good question.
