Practicing Faith


"Faith is the substance of things that are hoped for and the evidence of things unseen."                                                                          Hebrews 11:1


The Bible says that we must have faith - even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountainsMatthew 17:20

Me must get beyond the substance - things that are unseen are often the ones hardest to wrap our heads around. That doesn't make them any less important!

In school we strive for good marks on our report cards. In life we must strive for good marks from God.  Look to God for help in all things and boast not of your own accomplishment, for it is only through God that we are able to succeed. Some say leave life to fate, but even fate is the work of God.

John 6:28 Go said it, I believe it and that settles it! Romans 1:17 - We must walk and live by faith - and through that faith God will make it a reality.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Any man who takes on Christ as his savior is then a new creature. Old things are passed away and all things become new. Matthew 21:22 has a wonderful promise from God - promising that we will be given anything we ask for in prayer if we have faith it will be given to us. The key to that promise is we have to have faith that God can and will deliver. You must claim it!
