Faith as a Deeper Definition of Belief in God
Rev. T. Howard Akland, at First United Presbyterian Church, spoke on faith explaining it as more than confidence or belief. He said faith is communion with the Divine, an unshakable, transforming conviction that shapes character toward the divine pattern and offers refuge from strife. He described faith as a bridge to the eternal and a sustaining hope of life beyond.
