Don't Approach Faith Halfheartedly A biblical apologetic is the best use of our natural faculties of thought in submission to the Holy Spirit to remove doubts and problems that hinder a trustful, energetic participation in a life of personal relationship with God. Now, this goes all the way from believing in God to believing the right things about God. You remember in Hebrews 11:6 we are told (forgive me, but I still like the King James Version): "He that cometh unto God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that halfheartedly seek him." Oops! Was there an error in there? I meant "diligently seek him." Now, diligent seeking is an expression of a number of things, not the least being faith—confidence. When we are halfhearted in our faith, we are halfhearted in our thinking. And the halfheartedness defeats the whole project. From The Allure of Gentleness: Defending the Faith in the Manner of Jesus.
