Faith: It’s Personal
Mark 11:22 “And Jesus answered them, ‘Have faith in God.’” Many years ago, one of my office coworkers was talking about a subject (I don’t recall what the subject was) and he made this statement: “You have to have faith.” Well, because I knew that this person was not a Christian, I asked him this question: “Faith…

We value…
