" !$ """ 8 Thursday, November 5, 2015 – Minden Press-Herald e Incredible The Church Page is brought to you by the ings We Believe following businesses: Christians believe a lot of things which many non-Christians find incredible, starting with the fact that God became man in the form of Jesus. That an all- powerful, all-knowing God would take the form of a human being is a stumbling block for many. Christians also believe that Jesus was perfect, never sinning during his thirty-plus years here on earth. At the end of this sojourn, Jesus allowed himself to be executed, and after dying, and being dead for three days, we believe that he rose from the dead and that he walked and talked and ate with his followers for a brief time before ascending bodily to heaven. Christians believe that God then sent the Holy Spirit to minister to us, and literally to enter into us. We believe that God is inside of us because we hear the still small voice of conscience, and believe that this is the voice of God. And we believe that we are guided by that voice, the Holy Spirit. Sometimes our faith is troubled by these things. They are indeed incredible in the literal sense that they can be hard to believe. But perhaps we believe them because we have God’s spirit within us. And perhaps that spirit within us is what makes us enthusiastic about these incredible things, and perhaps they ring true to us because they are true to our inmost being. – Christopher Simon
