12. Creed: Why believe in God as the creator?

Joel Virgo explores the attractive and yet, difficult, idea that there is a Creator of everything. If there is a Creator, then we are not at the centre of the Universe. We’re not even the centre of our lives. We can’t construct our lives around our own personal attempts to make the world fit around us. It’s not about us, it’s about Him. This can cause us to struggle.

Hebrews 11:1-3
