The Choice Of Faith

Faith is a choice we have to make, even when life disappoints us. We can choose faith, or discouragement. The choice of faith is what God is pleased with, and responds to.

And although we know that life can be cruel and disappointing, it seems that we are rarely ever prepared for things to go wrong. One of the facts of life ...read more

However, James 2:24 says that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. Martin Luther saw ...read more
