    What God-Given Faith Produces

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jan 29, 2006
    based on 29 ratings
     | 17,514 views

    We need to make a clear distinction between God-given faith and “faith” that is the product of man’s reasoning or Satan’s devices.

    WHAT GOD-GIVEN FAITH PRODUCES “Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen. For by it our ancestors were approved. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen has been made from things that are not visible.” ...read more

    When you see a sign reading “Out of Order” on any machine, there are two things that you can reasonably assume: One - the thing doesn’t work properly, and, Two - it will probably be a man who comes and fixes it. Our nation is way Out of Order...

    "Out Of Order" GENESIS 1:26-28 When you see a sign reading “Out of Order” on any machine, there are two things that you can reasonably assume: One, the thing doesn’t work properly, and, Two, it will probably be a man who comes and fixes it.

    An Endangered Species

    Contributed by Pastor Thomas Samuel on Jan 9, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,086 views

    It is futile to have faith without deeds. In simple language, it is hypocrisy and such a faith can never save anybody. One’s faith is dead if it is not accompanied by action.

    An Endangered Species What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical ...read more

    Today I would like to talk to you about being in the center of God’s will. God has created us with the ability to make decisions.
