In the subject post, CiRCE Institute contributor Lindsey Brigham Knott, writes the following:
"in belief, Christians deny the philosophies of naturalism and materialism, teaching their children that the Creator God daily sustains them, that they through prayer can speak to Him, that God’s Son wrought miracles for such as them. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; by Him all things were created that are on heaven and on earth; by Him all things were made, and in Him all things consist; of Him, and from Him, and to Him are all things!
But our language undermines our beliefs. For, though we teach that all creation is actively sustained by a loving God, we talk as though it goes on its merry way quite well without Him. "
The post can be found in full here. What are your thoughts? Have Christians been influenced to much by naturalism? Does our speech "affirm a world of agency" too little?
Stand firm in Christ,
Chase
