Default "...bad faith???"

Quote:
...“bad faith” is a phrase which justifies the lack of belief in free choice.

Toxic Antithesis for Clair Drucker
This gave me thought and figured it could use some perusal.

Just how bad is my faith? Is it justifiable or just fine thank you?.

I believe in freedom of choice. Do I exercise that belief and get the most out of the power that is available to me? Or, do I just know, and do nothing about it?

Always thought of faith as a positive thing. I know a little goes a long way. I whole lot strengthens me. I have faith in the AA program. I have faith in the 12 Steps. I believe they are a tool that fits any nut that walks through the doors of recovery. I thought that was very derogatory when I first heard it, but found it to be very true. I was one of the biggest, it fit me, so why wouldn't it fit someone else.

My hope turned into faith. My faith turned into a connection to my Higher Power. Have I maintained that connection or have I turned it into an Ego?

Faith without works is dead. Work without faith, gets me nowhere.

How does your faith measure up?

Something I posted on another site in 2009

I know my faith is holding up, otherwise I would have died many times along the recovery road. I am so grateful for the program that keeps on giving me a brand new day.
