True Faith Works
Part I

We live in a society that is very religious. People believe that they can have faith in God, yet continue in their worldly lifestyle. They believe the faith they claim does not need to interfere with their life. On the other side, there are people who do good works, but do not have a faith in God. A true faith in God will manifest itself in good works.
