Would You Believe...? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 27, 2008

John repeatedly explains how critical "believing" is to the Christian. In fact he stresses faith nearly twice as much as the other 3 gospels. Why?

(We opened with a 50 seconds cut from Don Adams in “Get Smart” - the episode called “Mr. Big” found on youtube.com - where Maxwell Smart goes into his “Would You Believe” routine.) “Would you believe?” It was one of the funnier skits that Don Adams developed for his sitcom “Get Smart”.

Faith Over Feelings

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010

You are to believe! But it’s what you put your faith in, that’s what’s often left unsaid. And when the object of your faith is not clear, then your faith isn’t connected to the Lord.

Intro The Apostle John says in his first Epistle, “This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith” (1 John 5:4). If so, then it seems that all we have to do is have more faith. If we believe more, if we have more faith, then faith will destroy our sinful urges. Faith ...read more
