Okay I'm not making any sense, but anyway....

So faith is acting on the hope that the gospel is true? That makes sense in a way. However I'm still left wondering which gospel to choose to hope for in the first place. There are a lot of different churches, and plenty that I still don't even know about. Nearly all of them advise to have faith in either their gospel or their interpretation of it. If none of them give empirical evidence of the trueness of their church, how is one to pick a church?
