What is God currently asking you to do by faith?
Ron! Thanks for the four perspectives on faith. I believe that faith is one of the most crucial elements for success in any believer's life. That is why faith is lined up in both fruit of the spirit and the gift of the spirit.
It's true. We walk by faith and not by sight.
Amen
