More In Faith "A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding."― Douglas MacArthur "The realm of immediate or personal knowledge is a narrow circle in which these bodies move; the realm of knowledge derived through faith is as wide as the universe, and old as eternity."― Matthew Simpson "Faith is the first step to understanding. Either it’s the Word of an infallible God, the fallible words of men, or faith in what you personally believe. You’ve got to have faith in something. Believe me."― Ray Comfort
