Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Defining Christian faith: 3 of 99

I once asked my kids if they could tell me the difference between belief and faith. As many people do, they thought there was no difference; they felt that having faith simply meant you believed in something. As part of my illustration, I asked my son if he had enough faith to take the empty glass, sitting on the coffee table... More..

As a person who listens to, plays, and writes music, it is difficult for me to commit to just one genre, not to mention one band, as my favorite.

As one who believes that God communicates with us, in addition to the verbiage of the Bible, my testimony about tithing is found in neither the Old nor the New Testament.
