Faith Is A Verb

Contributed by Eric Ledermann on Jul 23, 2002

Faith is not something we hold on to, it is not something that lays on a table and does not move but only for display. Faith is active--it is what causes us to act. If a person is not acting on upon his/her faith, then that person has no faith. Let us e
