Simple Faith
What I want you to try as an experiment is to stop thinking of faith and belief in terms of Religion and think of these in terms of Relationship. Faith, belief, and trust mean something different in a Relationship compared to a Religion.
Entering His Rest
There is more to the Christian life than just getting saved. That is the first step into a larger world. Jesus is continually calling out to you, saying, “Come to Me, and I will give you rest.” That is a progressive thing. It is a daily thing.
