Life Affirming

Faith Articles

We need to get to know God and be able to recognise Him in every situation and circumstance if we are to benefit from faith. Otherwise, spiritual guidance will be dismissed as nothing more than luck or coincidence and our faith will become obsolete.

Read a selection of faith articles that illustrate the numerous ways God appears in daily life and how to recognise Him.
