FEATS OF FAITH!
MY last blog post was all about resting in faith… resting because we do not have to work in order to earn our salvation. For God has done it all and we only need live and enjoy His blessings. But there is still a daily faith which gets results… feats of faith! Accomplishing a feat…

Resting in faith!
We can often ask the question… what is faith? Simply, it is to rely on and trust in something or some person. But it is not meant to be a mental struggle where we tire ourselves out trying too hard to believe. Perhaps we need to stop and rest for a while. I recall an…

Don’t be half cooked!
Looking back on our Christian lives there are times we may well like to forget… times when we struggled with our faith, but God brought us through. But what we overlook, is the fact that God was working in our lives, developing our spiritual character. Better to be cooked than half cooked! Better to be…
