The Argument from Desire for the Existence of God, Part 4 (The Reasons to Believe #72)
Our Reasons to Believe passage from the Word of God today is Romans 1:17. It reads, "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."

The reply to this is, of course, "Try it. You won't like it." It's been tried and has never satisfied. In fact, billions of people have performed and are even now performing trillions of such experiments,

A Prayer for Your Child to Be Bold for the Gospel - Your Daily Prayer - May 22
My prayer today is that we will not hinder children from knowing the Lord. Instead, let us pray that their boldness will arise. But let us also remember we cannot pray for our children to be bold in their faith if we aren’t bold enough to teach them!
