First up today, let's go to Danny calling in from Arizona.

Danny, what's your question for, Adriel?

Hi, how are you?

Thanks for answering my question.

So I was a Catholic my whole life life and over the last few months have switched

and gone just to a Christian faith and got re-baptized and really been reading the Bible a lot

and I've been very excited about the message about, you know, salvation and, you know, because I grew up with faith in works.

And then I'm hearing a lot and all the stuff I'm listening to about, you know, faith alone.

And I love it and I believe it.

But I was reading James, the book of James last night in his whole section on faith without with good deeds,

without good deeds is dead.

And it really kind of goes in there a lot of details.

So I just kind of felt torn about it.

And actually I read that last night.

So now I'm sitting there and saw your show and I was like, I need to ask this question.

Danny, well, a couple things, man.

I'm stoked to hear that you are falling in love with the Bible.

May the Lord bless you and fill you with His Spirit

and enable you more and more as you read the scriptures to understand them.
