This morning On the Square , Russ Saltzman writes his abbreviated Confessions, recounting how he stumbled into faith without ever “getting” religion:
Far from being a religious person, I think of myself primarily as an ex-atheist. But just as theres no such thing as an ex-alcoholiconly an always recovering alcoholicso I am, as a rule a recovering atheist . . . . My faith didnt begin in religion; it came out of left field.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
