walk by faith

 


The word walk doesn’t always mean you have to move your feet.  It refers to living out our salvation, following Jesus and walking the way that is best.  The Bible uses the word walk in our understanding of the Christian life.

 

Colossians 1:10 NASB

so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

 

Walk so God is seen in your life.

 

2 Corinthians 5:7  NASB

for we walk by faith, not by sight—

 

Walk by Faith.  I’ve even gotten lost by thinking I knew where I was or even by using GPS.  The same is true in our spiritual lives which is why we need faith in God every day.

 

Ephesians 5:15 NASB

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

 

Joshua 22:5 NASB

Only be very careful to observe the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God and walk in all His ways and keep His commandments and hold fast to Him and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

 

Walk with wisdom and in the direction God has given.  How and where we walk is a choice we make.

 

How we walk really does matter.  Plan to walk through the Bible like you plan to walk somewhere, for exercise or even a hike of some sort.  No matter where or how, walk in a way that honors God all the time.

 

Enjoy the journey.  Walk in the joy you find in what really matters in life.  For me that includes faith.

 

3 John 1:4 NASB

I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

 

It thrills me to see others choose to walk by faith as well.  That would be my family, those in the church and others who I truly care about.  Choose to walk with God each day.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
