    At this point, I’m sure that Jesus was feeling the awful pressure of God’s coming judgment on sin. The fleshly side of Jesus surely wanted to run. He wanted another way to be chosen to save man. Yet He was committed to God, He was totally devoted to Hi

    Big Faith In Little Things

     | 6,907 views

    It's often easier for Christians to have faith in the big, amazing things God does than it is to have faith that he is acting in small ways in our lives every day.

    “To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.” Most Christians are familiar with some version of this verse. It’s been used as a definition for faith even in the secular world. It’s something we say to people to give ...read more

    Every Day. Routine. Take it or leave it. A dime a dozen. Do we treat the rare like the regular? Do we mistake the extraordinary for the ordinary? Do we overlook the incredible for the common?
