Faith – Part 3

How do we get faith? That is the 64,000 question. If faith has the power to fill gaps in our lives and see the impossible become reality, then we all want it. Romans 10:17 says that “faith comes from hearing the word of God”. When you consider the context of […]

Faith – Part 2

What exactly is faith? One of the most well known passages about faith is found in Hebrews 11:1. Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Faith is being completely sure and certain that what we hope for is going […]

Faith – Part1

This week, I feel compelled to talk a little about faith. Why? Because I need to hear it. Sometimes we can know a lot about God and still struggle with believing. Sometimes we need to quote back to ourselves what God said in His Word. So, this week I’m going […]

The scapegoat

In my quiet time this morning, God showed me something that blew me away. I’ve been reading through the book of Luke and today I read about Jesus’ crucifixion. But before Jesus was sentenced to death, Pilate did something incredible. He offered to free one prisoner – Jesus or Barabbas. […]

Another question… 1 Thess 5:17 says to “pray continually” in the NIV and “pray without ceasing” in the KJV. This appears to be a physical impossibility. Please explain the meaning here. Answer: It means what it says. Pray without stopping. But I don’t believe the writer (Paul) meant that we […]

TXT: Q&A (Part 1)

This past Sunday we concluded our TXT series taking questions from people in the church about the Bible.  I answered about 7 questions, but due to time couldn’t answer many of the other questions.  This week I will be giving my best answer to some of the other questions. Question: […]

Blocking a miracle

Is it possible for us to limit what God can do?  Most people would argue that we can’t limit God.  He is all powerful.  He can do anything he wants at any time.  While I do agree with those statements, I would suggest that possibly God has allowed himself to […]
