Master preacher John Killinger begins his new book with the story of a woman who phoned a seminary president one Saturday night. “Dr. Miller, what do I believe?” She asked.
”What do you mean?” Miller was not sure he had heard her correctly.
”I mean,” she said, “What do I believe? You see, I’ve just come from a party where several people got into a discussion about various beliefs. One woman was Jewish and she told us what she believes as a Jew. Another was Roman Catholic, and she told us what Catholics believe. Somebody was a Christian Scientist, and he talked about what they believe. I was the only Protestant in the group, and frankly, I didn’t know what to say. What do I believe?”
”That woman,” said Miller, “Must have come into the church on the confusion of faith, not the confession of faith.”
