Mature Faith Accepts God’s Word

February 6, 2019

Mature Faith Accepts God’s Word In Redeeming How We Talk, Ken Wytsma and A. J. Swoboda write: “Next to prayer, listening is perhaps the best way to create a positive context for conversation.

Mature Faith Is Seen in Good Deeds

February 11, 2019

Mature Faith Is Seen in Good Deeds Commentator Zane C. Hodges described the relationship between faith and good works: “[W]orks are in fact the vitalizing ‘spirit’ which keeps one’s faith alive, in the same way that the human spirit keeps the human body alive.
