Faith Pleases God

While I know that prayer is wonderful, and that prayer not only changes things but also changes you; while I know that the man of prayer can go right in, and take the blessing from God; yet I tell you that if we grasp the truth that we have before us, we shall find that faith is the greatest inheritance of all.

Looking through Faith’s Eyes

Our faith must be the eyes we use to see what we cannot see. The unseen, the unknown, the questions without answers… (If God had put every answer in the Bible, we wouldn’t need faith, and our Bible would be so big we couldn’t carry it!)

How to Develop a Heart for God

A hunger for the heavenly Father doesn’t ordinarily appear all of a sudden, fully matured, in one’s heart. Most of the time, it’s something that must be cultivated, and the best place to begin is the Bible. That’s where we listen to the Lord as He speaks to us in His Word.

Grace, Peace and Mercy

Our faith leads us to discover a love we don’t deserve. And yet God gives this love to us. This grace comes in the form of God himself taking on human form. This grace and mercy comes in a form of Jesus taking our punishment for us by dying for us on the cross. By our faith we stand in God’s grace as free beings, free from sin, free from punishment.

God’s Competence in Clay Pots

2 Corinthians 4:7. "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." Your Father wants you to be completely whole in belonging and worth, in identity and legitimacy.
