Nuggets from Seeking and Finding God—Why Faith Is Essential (Part 1)

How amazing that religions that rely upon good works and rituals are considered to be “faiths.” Faith can only engage the unseen and eternal and, therefore, does not mix with works and ritual. In search of a valid faith, it is folly to look at that which is visible. Even...Read more
