    Does Faith work?

    I have heard many unbelievers say or simply imply that Faith in God is not real, but merely an illusion promoted by fear of death and the manipulation of gullible minds. So if a Christian’s faith is truly based on fear and ignorance, one might ask how someone would willingly choose to...

    All people are special

    All people are special in God’s eyes and He given unique gifts and abilities to everyone.

    Committed

    Those who love the Lord are emboldened to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ by the lives they lead and by the words they speak. He who calls himself a Christian, but lives according to the standards and morals of this World is not committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I will call such...

    God loves to show

    His miracles to those that believe and for the sake of those that might believe. It is not God power to heal that is lacking but our Faith and what we can accept. If we had the faith to believe that an arm would grow out again where it had been missing, then God would give us that miracle...
