Written By Barbara Worthington

Mat 13:3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
Mat 13:4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

I have strong faith or no faith in the testimony of a witness, or in what a historian narrates (Websters Dictionary, 2009).” After reading the definition of faith I understand that it's seeing something as truth. read more »
