    Useless Faith Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 25, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,562 views

Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; ...read more
