One of my favorite chapters in the Bible is Hebrews 11, which begins with the expression of a paradox, the very definition of FAITH. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). It’s a paradox in the sense that logically, one cannot give evidence of something that doesn’t exist. Even more so when something one wants to present an evidence of has NEVER existed.

The best example of the exercise of such faith, for me, is Noah. His evidence in support of the coming of a flood was . . . FAITH. That evidence would never be accepted by a judge in a court of law today, unless, of course, the judge is God. You see? When you are fascinated by a subject, a short editorial can easily become a long article. So, I will let you enjoy the articles of this magazine, hoping that every word written by their authors is a statement of their own faith in the creative power of God who promises to give each one of us a new heart, when we truly BELIEVE.
