What Twins Reveal About The Science Of Faith
Anyone who knows me knows I have always had a twin fascination. I came across this article today about a study that showed that even when twins were separated at a young age that they held similar beliefs concerning their faith (or lack of).
“For as long as a person is convinced that he has some ability, even if it is altogether trifling, to work out his salvation, he continues to trust in himself and does not at all despair of his own efforts. Accordingly, he does not humble himself before God, and he selects a certain place, time...

I always doubted until it happened to me this week. I bought Swedish Fish candy for my daughter and my...
