    Faith comes to most of us some packaged form. In the lives of many Christians it is never unpacked - it remains in the box.

    I have had this idea for a sermon illustration rattling around in my brain. Today seemed like the perfect day to use it. A few weeks ago now I referenced the beginnings of this illustration. It actually began with new siding and windows on our home. That meant a new deck. The old one was an ...read more
