What is faith? There has been so much taught and said about faith it\u2019s unbelievable. The vast majority has been passed down from generation to generation as a tradition and belief system.\u00a0 These are some of the things I\u2019ve heard over the years concerning faith.<\/p>\n<p>-Biblical faith<\/p>\n<p>-Saving faith<\/p>\n<p>-True faith<\/p>\n<p>-Power of faith<\/p>\n<p>-Increase your faith<\/p>\n<p>-Strong faith<\/p>\n<p>-Weak faith<\/p>\n<p>-Little faith<\/p>\n<p>-Great faith<\/p>\n<p>These are not all the terms used or spoken with the word faith included.\u00a0 Many are exact quotes from the Bible.\u00a0 But many don\u2019t carry the same meaning as the writers.\u00a0 So, what is faith and what does it mean? Are most of our thoughts and ideas on faith derived from desensitization to the person of Christ?\u00a0 If so, that would make our belief concerning faith delusional and void of God&#8217;s mean of faith for us!\u00a0 Let&#8217;s talk about it!<\/p>\n<p>Love in Christ,<\/p>\n<p>David &amp; Katherine<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2016 May 29th Streaming Greetings Everyone, Well, it&#8217;s almost that time.
