In the last 40 years we've seen a tremendous loss of faith in the Western world and this just isn't a concept. We all know people, often within our own families and people that we love, who no longer believe and have left the practice of the faith. This is troubling.
Faith is not just a feeling or an experience. The written word of God tells us that faith is a knowing. It's assurance, it's conviction, it's evidence, it's realization of what is not seen, of what is beyond our ability to perceive through our senses.
Faith is the path to eternal salvation.
