    Faith is not rules concerning what we must do to receive from God. When we see Jesus as big as He really is then we relax in Him. This is where faith is born.

    I recently had a chat with a good friend and I opened up that there is a need to understand the difference between the faith of Jesus and our faith. There are many Christians who always want to start off asking themselves “Do I have enough faith?”. They want to be sure that they are ...read more

    The true bride will always go beyond the minimal requirements. Rebekah gave the servant water but also volunteered to water the 10 camels as well. She was the chosen bride, not for doing the minimum, but for going beyond the expected.
