Without faith, you see, life becomes scary, threatening, frightening, and discouraging. B For a number of years sociologists have been conducting tests to determine what makes people happy. They have finally concluded what we Christians have known since the days of Christ. We know that jobs, living conditions, sexual satisfaction, and wealth have little to do with happiness. Happiness depends upon how one looks at things.
Happiness depends upon the eye of faith.
Being a Christian doesn't automatically bring happiness. Because you know as well as I do that there are many unhappy Christians. Yet, deep down within their hearts, Christians know the secret to happiness a quiet trust and faith in Christ as Savior and Lord. We have a choice congregation. We can look at life, we can live life, with faith in the power of God and His Christ, or we can look at life and can live life without faith in the power of God.
