  • The Shield of Faith - Simply put, faith is believing, taking God at His word without reasoning or questioning. When I get ready to sit down in my chair at the office I don't wonder if the chair is going to support me. I sit down **anticipating** that it **will** support me. This is the attitude we must have towards God and the many wonderful promises He has given us.

  • The Peril of Keeping Candidate Faith On The Down-Low - Exactly what does Mitt Romney's public address reveal about the significance of candidate disclosure of faith? The American electorate cannot be expected to buy into the myth that a candidate's faith will not influence their electability. Platform and politics over prayer. Spin over spirit. Facts over faith. The electorate needs to reconsider its position in the coming season of elections, especially as it votes for the next President of the United States. The vote should not be political, the vote should be prayerful which means it will require faith. In so many ways, Governor Romney was cautious to say that his faith would not influence his decision-making process as President. The question that must be asked is what, then, will his decision-making be influenced by? Every American should demand an answer to that question.
  • Faith, a Characteristic of Jesus' Life - Faith was an everyday occurrence in Jesus' life.

  • Saved by Faith - The Lord wants to richly bless each and every person, and yet no one deserves those blessings, nor can they possibly hope to earn those blessings since the Lord requires absolute perfect obedience in thought and action, which appears to be absolutely impossible. So does this dichotomy make God a liar? Not at all! Yes, the Lord has set an impossible standard, but He has met that standard for us: But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, ... even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For ...
  • OCD cure - If you have faith like a child, you can start to become OCD free today! - Have you ever read in the Bible about having faith like a child? Well there is a reason for that. Children don't need a scientific explanation for everything. They don't need certain kinds of proof. We as adults sometimes want so much proof that there is just no way that it can be provided so we end up doing nothing about our situation. Sometimes people lose out on great opportunities because instead of going with their gut, they let other people or lack of proof stop them from taking action. How does this help with OCD? A lot of people out there are exposed to different programs that talk about OCD and claim this and claim that and when they get the product, it's just not very useful and probably was written by someone that didn't even have OCD.

  • Journey of Faith - What is our journey of faith and how do we get the true understanding of how faith works in our lives? How do we structure and build upon faith as we take our journey through life to where we become strong to the point of maturity? Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld. It coveys the idea of something that underlies visible conditions and guarantees a future possession. Faith is, therefore, the basis for hope and the evidence for conviction concerning unseen realities. The entire body of truths delivered by Jesus Christ and his inspired disciples constitutes the true Christian “faith.” As we go through our journey of faith to get true understanding, let us examine the farmer’s faith.
  • A Good Testimony - Jesus Christ laid down His deity to be to become a man for our sakes. He did this not only for the sake of becoming an offering for our sins, and but also that He might live as an example for us. Faith was a characteristic of Jesus' entire human life. In Hebrews chapter 11, we learn that "by [faith] the elders obtained a good testimony" (Hebrews 11:2, NKJV), but before whom was his testimony made? First of all this testimony was before God Himself: For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.
  • Age New Spirituality – Inspirational Quotes ( Part 1 ) - Ye are the Children of God, the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings. Ye divinities on earth-sinners ?

He is an atheist who does not believe in himself.
  • Enoch - By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 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 11:5-6, NKJV) Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters.

  • Perseverance - The Key To Answered Prayer - There is a somewhat strange parable in Luke 11.

  • Joseph's Overcoming Faith - By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.

  • Abraham - By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

  • Using Reason Is The Way To Have Complete Faith - Some have the idea that faith and reason are in conflict with each other. They think that if you have reason, you don't need faith, and if you go by faith, you cannot go by reasoning. It is this paradox that has caused the biggest problems in all religion and spirituality. The truth is that faith and reason are one and the same. In order to have faith about something, you need to know it as true.
  • Jacob's Blessing of Ephraim and Manasseh - By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff. (Hebrews 11:21, Genesis 48:1-22, NKJV) When Jacob was old, sick and dying, his son Joseph came with his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, so that Jacob might bless them. Jacob had conspired with his mother to deceive his father, Isaac, into giving him the greater blessing which was reserved for the eldest male child, Esau. Now, Jacob purposely gave the greater blessing to the younger of Joseph's two sons, Ephraim. While Isaac had planned to bless Esau in preference to Jacob, Jacob had learned to follow the Lord's leading, in spite of Joseph's objections: ... your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine....

  • The Power Of Faith In Your Online Business - How many millions of websites are there on the Internet? Who knows? But, one thing that is for certain is that behind every domain is a man, woman or company looking to meet its own financial goals.

Having said that, it is important to note that this article is NOT about religion. This article is actually about "faith," which is entirely separate from religion. Do you have faith in your children that they will always do the right thing?

As I was sitting there, I saw a friend of mine going up the escalator and he was wearing an employment badge. I think it was, Intel. You see, it's been YEARS since I last saw him. And I could remember the last time we met— I could remember him as a fully motivated person... someone who is passionate about realizing his dream to be financially free one day. He told me that 3 years from that day, he'll buy the house and car he wants and travel overseas for vacation each year with his wife. Beautiful young couple. A goal getter, he was. Probably still is.
  • Passover and Easter's Common Theme: Courage Comes From Faith - Spring brings with it not only flowers, sunshine and warmer weather but two important religious holidays: Easter and Passover.

  • Catechism Gives Blueprint To Catholics - The word catechism as a variety of meanings however the most accepted one comes from Greek and means to Echo. In this application it is a way to echo or repeat the tenants of the Catholic Church. Prior to the invention of the printing press in the 1400s , the beliefs and tradition of the church were handed down verbally. They asked people to repeat them over and over until they were learned, like an echo. Even in the time of Jesus the teacher taught scriptures by asking again and again for them to be repeated, until they were learned. This was a common way of teaching even before the time of Jesus. But this again invoked the Echo theme.

  • The Power of the Seven Spirits in Prayer - How does knowledge about the Seven Spirits of God help us obtain the many blessings that the Lord has promised to all "who diligently seek Him?" (Hebrews11:6, NKJV) The very first thing we need to remember is that we are commanded: do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:31-34, NKJV) My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

  • Moses the Commissioned Deliverer - By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. (Hebrews 11:27-28, NKJV) Moses had a revelation that he was going to be a deliverer of the nation of Israel out of bondage to Pharaoh. However, instead of patiently waiting for the Lord to move in His time and power, Moses initiated an ill-advised and murderous effort without the Lord's direction. As a consequence, Moses spent forty unnecessary years in Midian, and the nation of Israel spent an extra thirty years in bondage to Egypt. However forty years in Midian greatly humbled the arrogant Moses, making him ready to be commissioned by the Lord for the work to which he had been called.
  • The Benefits Of A Gfe And Pre-approval - Most real estate purchases are bought with loans so getting a good faith estimate and pre-approval letter from your lender helps the process start off on the right foot.

  • Are You A True Christ Follower? - I thought about this today...What does it mean to be a True Christ Follower? First of all, I do not want this question to lead to us thinking about others, but rather ourselves.

  • Living in Fear versus Faith - Which Will Prevail? - Fear is a normal part of life. Just as you might respond in surprise or anger to certain situations, other circumstances may rightly inspire fear. But when it begins to loom so large that you are stopped in your tracks, fear has become a burden to your progress and emotional outlook. Fear Undercuts Your Confidence If you lack confidence and feel insecure, fear may be at the root of the problem. Our fears can cause us to hesitate in pursuing an idea, and when we miss an opportunity, we might begin to doubt we will ever achieve or amount to anything. From there a person may go spiraling down into depression.
