A faith promise prioritizes our faith, it is a sign of our trust and faith in God, and it decreases our faith in money and increases our faith in God. When we make our commitments, God doesn’t want us to do so out of guilt, compulsion, or fear from our love for Him, for His people, for His church.

I Made It

Contributed by Charles Jones on Jun 14, 2011

It must also be noted that there is a vast difference between saying "I Made It" and saying "I’ve Got It Made¨.

So two Adam’s and an Eve make up the total population of that mini list of people who were perfect. That list is quickly reduced to ...read more
