It doesn’t sound like she has any faith at all. Faith comes from hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17), becoming rooted and grounded in love by daily fellowship with Jesus (Ephesians 3:14-21). By feeding on pure spiritual milk, she can mature as a Believer (1 Peter 2:1-9). She can stir up the gift inside, recognizing that the Greater One is inside of her (1 John 4:1-4). Confidence comes from believing that there is NOW NO condemnation, that she is a child of God, and joint-heir with Jesus. (Romans 8:1-2, 8:11-17) The “works” and struggle ends because Jesus has done it all for you. Fruit bearing becomes easy because its the life of God flowing through the vine and to the branches. Religion always screws up the simplicity of the Gospel, and God’s perfect plan for His kids.
As someone earlier said, she is drifting in and out of religious traditions, the inventions of men - ceremonies, philosophy etc. Her spirit desires a relationship with her Heavenly Father and that spiritual connection comes only through faith in Jesus. It only matures by constant spiritual fellowship. She should heed Paul’s warning and his instructions to cling only to Jesus, the Word made flesh. There, she will find the spiritual peace that no intellectual or religious pursuit will ever provide.
Colossians 2:8-10 (AMP)
8 See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition (men’s ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ (the Messiah).
9 For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine nature].
10 And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].
It doesn’t seem like she’s read most of the Bible from her not being aware of what it says on many of the things she writes about. She doesn’t seem to be aware that “church” isn’t really a building or a service, but “the church,” the body of believers and the bride of Christ.
I looked more into other things she’s written, and she contributed to a feminist, liberal Christian volume called “Jesus Girls,” and has contributed several pieces to the Huffington Post, inlcuding one I just read called, “Why isn’t God like Eric Clapton,” which talks more about her leaving and returning to church. She talks about a longing for God and knows church does something but that’s about all. She had asked why God seems so distant and it still seems like He is to her. It seems like she isn’t willing to consider taking the Bible as God’s inspired, inerrant Word, though.
