” but about his thinking about his relationship with Christ, salvation,etc.”

If he is trusting Christ alone for salvation, that is what eternally matters. In a poor paraphrase of rabbi Hillel, “all else is commentary”. Right now I am wrestling with N.T. Wright’s “new perspective” on justification but it does not affect my standing in Christ.

I did a double take with your “Okay, serious question”. I had to make sure it was really you. How have you been and are you surviving the cold?

Thanks for asking. I have basically been coughing since around November 10th. I finally ordered a vaporizer thingy, since they don't think I have consumption, whooping cough, or anything else. It's kind of tiring and my cough muscles hurt.

Tra la.

My question is one that interests me. The grace of faith seems to, what, infect us slowly. I mean we have moments of complete trust, and then moments of doubt and worry and all the rest. And our thinking so easily goes off the rails.

So I guess it's good to pray for more or deeper or somehow mo' better faith. That itself is an act of faith.
