What are the 3 aspects of faith?

As a pastor, I am often asked to comfort those whose faith is shaken by various trials—the loss of a loved one, a failed business venture, an unexpected illness or diagnosis, the failure to receive a desired result from an exam or paper, the disappointment that comes with a relationship or job that went wrong. I’ve come to realize that Jesus wants to save us not only from the sea, but from the doubts that would send us sinking. He calls them “after-thoughts.” He loves to save the oh in our faith, and he wants to help us rise up against it.

In De Veritate, Thomas Aquinas explains that it is impossible to believe by faith ai Na Fé and know by rational demonstration the same truth, since this would render one or the other unnecessary. Rather, God’s revelation is a combination of both, as faith affirms what cannot be demonstrated and reason discovers explanations.

When we talk about oh in faith, it usually refers to the moments of doubt that rock us to our core. Sometimes these are triggered by the loss of a loved one, or a failed marriage, or a disappointing job. Other times they are the result of a sudden illness or injury, or a poor grade on a paper we spent hours writing. Whatever the cause, these moments of doubt can feel like a drowning sea in which we desperately try to hold onto something, anything, for dear life.

When this happens, we need to remember that God loves to save us from the storm. Just as he saved Peter from the roaring waves, he will save us from those doubts that would send us sinking. He will save us by teaching us to rise up against them, and by urging us to consider all the evidence. Then, like Peter, we will know what it means to trust in him. And the only way to do that is to oh in faith, and keep our eyes on him.

Parents and teachers are increasingly concerned about the effects of digital screens on kids. Studies show that excessive screen time can lead to poor mental health, social anxiety, decreased school performance and difficulties with reading and language development.
