It is not uncommon to hear preachers say, "Your prayer was not answered because you didn't have enough faith!" or "He was not healed because he did not have enough faith!" or "That happened because you doubted!" Have you heard such teachings or accusations? We'll examine this teaching by comparing it with what the Bible says.
Is Faith “Power within you”?
There is a common false teaching so rampant in Christianity today, which teaches that you have power within you - or that God has given you that power - to imagine, speak and make things happen through words. Is it really what the Bible teaches?
What does the Bible teach about Faith?
What if I told you that what millions of Christians believe about faith is totally wrong and no different from new age teachings? What if you got it wrong all along? Have you ever examined what the Bible teaches about faith?

Jesus never wanted His followers' money. He only wanted their hearts. Jesus was not excited about huge crowds. He only wanted wholehearted followers - true, though few. Jesus never wanted to be a king though they wanted to make Him one. He was already a King, He said, of a far greater everlasting Kingdom. When… Continue reading One heart

“Welcome to life!”
Jesus confronts us with a calling that challenges us to give up pursuits that we hold dear.

Whoever does not… Continue reading “Welcome to life!”
