But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?” (Matthew 8:26-27) God is greatly to be … More Faithfulness
‘”Will He really find faith on the earth?”’, what a salient line for Jesus to speak regarding His return. He is speaking to both the apostles, other believers, and the religious of the day, the Pharisees and Sadducees, and this major challenge is thrown out. Can you imagine being one of the apostles and hearing … More Advent II – Day 15 (Faith?)
I wonder, can we really grasp the tremendous events that will mark Christ’s return? I don’t think we can without God’s divine inspiration.

But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who … More Until our Lord’s appearing
Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to … More Through faith
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with … More The Heavenly Hope
And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, … More Touching the Son
