Our faith rests not on our own feelings, but on the promises of a faithful God.
The Church is after all a movement which sought to inject passion, direction and purpose into the spiritual lives of the people.
All persons need the ministry of the Church in their struggles for human fulfillment, as well as the spiritual and emotional care of a fellowship that enables reconciling relationships with God, with others, and with self.
