A Sturdy Faith?

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 12, 2018

We put too much faith in our ability to ‘get up enough faith’ (whatever that may mean), rather than placing our trust in the Lord. Do you see the difference? One focuses on US, the other on HIM.

Or, ‘she trusts so entirely upon the LORD’. But Jesus, whilst He gently rebukes His ...read more
