“We hear ‘believe,’ and think we’re supposed to understand; that we’re supposed to be able to use our intellect, reason something out, and be able to say that we’ve come to the same conclusion. But the Greek, pisteuó, means entrusting one’s spiritual well-being to, a ‘conviction of joyful trust.’ When we hear ‘believe’ we shouldn’t think ‘assent,’ we should think ‘trust.’” –The Rev. Nikky Wood, sermon from the Fifth Sunday in Easter
