Ever heard the phrase “Have faith?” I’m sure that we’ve been through that phrase in our life more than once. Faith is such a disturbing thing.

Some people tell me that faith is all they need
Some people tell me otherwise
Still, some people tell me that faith is just an excuse for laziness… or for fear
Which is which? “Faith is the substance of things hoped for – the evidence of things not seen.”
“Faith without deeds is dead” – it is deception.
