Most of us admit that we do not have consistent faith lives. But we aren't quite sure what the remedy is. The quality of our faith seems so dependent on how we are doing as individuals at any particular point in our lives. However, this is not the way the New Testament understood faith. When we understand faith only in a private, personal way, our faith will end up being dependent only on us. The problem is, we are an incredibly unreliable anchor for our own souls.
