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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look
