    To grow in our faith we must learn to trust in the promises of God. Taken from Jim Cymbala’s book Fresh Faith.

    When most of us think about how we are doing spiritually, we think about surface things. We zero in on behavior patterns, such as have we been gossiping, have we been staying true to our marriage, have we been reading our Bibles, have we been tithing? We concentrate on outward works while ...read more

    God is restoring a remnant through Jesus.

    A faithful minority. Rom. 11:1 -- 10. 08/24/03 I looked up the word faithful in the dictionary. The dictionary reported the meaning of faithful as true and trustworthy in the performance of duty.

    Living By Faith

    Contributed by Paul George on May 27, 2003
    based on 36 ratings
     | 7,997 views

    Faith is one of the most ambiguous words in the Christian vocabulary. True Christian faith is not only to believe that the Bible is true, but also have a sure trust in Jesus Christ.

If we beleive this it should have an influence on our reaction toward the Lord when His will is not our will. How do we react when events happen in ...read more
