A Broken Crutch Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

You can't ask for a stronger statement on faith than this. Faith, when it is true faith, is identical with trust. Faith that stops short of trust is neither saving nor sanctifying faith.

A BROKEN CRUTCH Based on Prov. 3:5-6 A social science teacher once told my sister that faith in God was only a crutch.
