Possessing the Land… or Not

What you believe is very important. It’s one of the choices you make in life. But equally important, perhaps even more important is what you say. Jesus mentions it three times more than he mentions the term believe. But faith and words alone, as important as they are, still require actions that correspond to your faith and words, if you want to see that mountain move.

Righteousness is the beginning of peace. Faith gives us access to the peace grace provides. That peace restores hope and causes joy to rise within. You can take the peace that rightfully belongs to you by grace through faith in Jesus!

Where Has All the Power Gone?

Have you wondered where that power has gone? Can we see it today? In Acts 11, we read that “The power of the Lord was with them (the believers who went to Antioch), and a large number of these Gentiles believed and turned to the Lord.” Let’s carry that same power to our generation! “

Why do we teach faith: Part 2

Why do we teach faith? Another reason is found in Hebrews 10:38 “Now the just shall live by faith.” The people referred to in this passage are those who are made righteous or ones that God has declared or pronounced to be innocent, faultless, and guiltless, therefore needing “no rectification in the heart or life” (Strongs Concordance). Although the Bible make clear this truth, many Christians carry guilt and shame and struggle in their minds even though they have been set free by the blood of Jesus. You can step into New Covenant living by every day putting your faith in Jesus. His righteousness belongs to you! (Romans 4:23-25)

Why do we teach faith: Part 1

Why do we teach faith? The greatest reason is found in Hebrews 11:6 EXB: “Without faith no one can please God.” If there were no other reasons, that would be enough, but that verse further explains: “[For; Because] Anyone who comes to God must believe that he ·is real [exists] and that he rewards those who ·truly want to find [earnestly/sincerely seek] him.” So really their are huge benefits from pleasing God in this way. So yes, faith people may be ridiculed and maligned, and it sometimes seems that others would rather we teach doubt and unbelief. In the end that makes no difference, because it’s God we serve and not the shifting views of the critics. Throughout the Bible God always commended people of faith. So let’s join them and press on.
