live by faith


 

Too often faith has become a question rather than a foundation.  For some it is an option or something that makes little or no difference.  Answer for yourself.


Research by the smartest medical schools have shown that patients who are prayed for or praying seem to recover and have some inner strength.


That makes sense.


Another test that I heard of taking place in an area of Africa where a tribe had very little contact with the outside world.  The test, from the leaders of the tribe, looked at people who received encouragement and those who didn’t.  Those who were encouraged were stronger, physically and mentally, than those who were alone and not encouraged.


So what about faith?  Does it make a difference?


Hebrews 11:1  NLT

Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.


Faith is a real and very needed part of life.  May we live with faith.  May we seek even more faith.  May our lives thrive when we connect to God and His best for our lives, for our families and for those we have influence over.  


Choose to live by faith.  Be an encourager to others who choose to live by faith.


“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”  ― C.S. Lewis


“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.”  ― J.R.R. Tolkien


“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”  ― Corrie ten Boom


Faith is what I choose.  Live by faith.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
