Faith is Not a Feeling

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, -Hebrews 11:6   “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of […]

The Lord’s Prayer

“Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray: Matthew 6:8-9 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

Doubt

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1  But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything […]

Do it Anyway

For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 7:1  So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27  But seek first the kingdom of God […]
