Have Faith In God

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 27, 2011

Have faith in God. Focus not on the size of your faith but the size of your God. Who do you believe in is important. Do not shift your focus away from God and onto your self, your skills, your knowledge or past accomplishments.

[Adapted from a chapter in Rev Edmund Chan’s book Growing Deep in Faith.] A young boy was being tormented by a demon. ?He has seizures and is suffering greatly, and would even throw himself into the fire or water. ?His family was at a lost what to do. His father brought him to the disciples of ...read more

Riding The Fence Series

The issue is whether you let God fulfill His promise of righteousness in you, or whether you want to take the controls and do it yourself. ...read more
