Today we are tempted to put our faith in many things. However, not - TopicsExpress



          

Today we are tempted to put our faith in many things. However, not all are that dependable. Some are actually dangerous. Some people trust in God, others in money, friends, self, political leaders, or military power. Still others trust in science, other experts, astrology or fortune- tellers. The American philosopher, Eric Hoffer, has stated somewhat cynically, “Faith in a holy cause is a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves.” He comments further that, “…where there is the technical skill to move mountains, there is no need for faith.” While there is a certain physical truth in what he says, he is actually mocking an example used by Jesus Christ (Matthew 17:20).
