Faith Matters

Before falling asleep last night I was flipping through channels and I came across a Nightline report, that struck me. It was a report about what heaven looks like. I don't know if I agreed with a lot of it, but it struck me that they were talking about it. The title of the segment, I think, struck me more. It seems they have created a series of reports titled, "Faith Matters." Naturally, my cynical side kicked in and I began to wonder, "Why does a network news program get it, and so many of us in mainline congregations don't?" Again, I can't say that I'm thrilled with some of the topics they've covered there, but honestly faith does matter. I just wish more of us lived it.
