Biblical Faith: What It Is & How to Have It

Faith is the medium of exchange in the kingdom of heaven, and it's the greatest asset we have. Unbelief is the greatest stumbling block, and it's the root of all sins. To have strong faith, we must know God and hear from Him. The root of faith is the Rhema of God, and the reality of faith is faith in God, not faith in faith. The result of faith is the will of God, and it's not something we must do, but something we get to do. To release faith, we must obey God's word, and true faith does more than merely believe, it obeys. [... more]

Donor-advised funds have become the fastest-growing vehicle for charitable giving in America, combining the flexibility of a personal giving account with the efficiency of professional administration.
