The Challenge of Belief

I love and miss President Holland and his tender heart.  This video pains me, but I love his loving  invitation to bring those who think we are cult together so we can talk.  

You see and hear him all the time

Judging the church like he knows best

Zeroing in like it was his to find

What do you say so he will give it rest?

In the beginning

With Adam and Eve

Was contradiction

That challenged belief



By transgressing

God's laws in their hearts

The first family

Must depart to start



Not knowing all things

We come unto truth

The spirit this brings

Conviction's proof



How do you explain

Your witness as proof?

To make sacred plain

Makes light of the truth



It is in the struggle

The challenge of faith

That we become humble

And receive God's strength



If this man had come with an honest heart,

seeking to "know for himself"

answers would have come,

the spirit would have helped.



Opposition only strengthens- a renewed faith to show

With the supposer ever searching and never coming to know...

It is not for man to "attack" churches and expose faults

but to seek what good they offer through the love that is taught.
