Description

Do you feel like something is always wrong, that you can't seem to get it right in your relationship with God Then you probably have a diseased faith - thankfully, there is way back to the innocence and freshness of the hour you first believed. There are only two ways to approach faith: a human-centered approach, or a God-centered one. A human-centered approach rests on human effort and persistence - human coulds and shoulds. It is about human 'performance', which ultimately leaves people tired, oppressed and feeling distant from God. A God-centered faith, on the other hand, is refreshing, surprising and nourishing to the human soul. True freedom is found whenever we center our faith on the 'person' of God and not the 'performance' of humankind.
