Seems like there is not much of an emphasis on Sala Fide. I'd like more, rather just on broad fluffy topics like "Love" and "Community."Jared Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445783451815077626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615787.post-1161382272497722472006-10-20T17:11:00.000-05:002006-10-20T17:11:00.000-05:00Thanks for post.

It is more of a "in the family" debate about what to focus our faith on. How good I am at being that what I claim to be? Or in Christ's sacrifice on our behalf?Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416032905333342957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615787.post-1160979101904746612006-10-16T01:11:00.000-05:002006-10-16T01:11:00.000-05:00Can you define "faith?"Can you define "faith?"freethoughtguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07533552985052601292noreply@blogger.com
