Faith is....the trust of a child....                                                               . ♪ Carroll Roberson - He's Real ♪

Doubt cries, "It is impossible! You can't, you can't go on!" 
Faith softly whispers, "Yes, you can, just trust in God. Be Calm." 
Doubt cries, "Look down! Your path is steep and rough with stones and briar!" 
Faith gently says, "I'll take your hand, it's beautiful up higher." 
Doubt has not one thing to give, but "going back" alone; 
Faith has God, eternal life, and heir-ship to a throne! 
And so, on unseen eagle's wings, these feet of clay are borne. 
While faith within me sings and sings, we rise above the storm!

~ A Little Gift Of Faith ~ 
Lord, take the rain away - 
I cry when the pain becomes too great
Take the rain, the cold, the fear
Take the rain away...
 
But, only when it's time
When you know the refreshing showers have cleansed all...
that needs be swept aside
Take the rain, but give me -Grace, make it mine
To know, to keep...
The sunshine of a golden morn
 
Take the rain Lord
Take the clouds away, but not until I appreciate, I understand
The light of your life in me
The opening of the door to see
The sunshine of your golden day
 
Take the rain Lord.. but only if and when I am strong-
In all you are
To step into the glory now, I need your peace today
Where I know my heart belongs
 
  Lord, take the rain, the clouds, the pain
But make it worth it's while
Lord, please...
replace it with Your song

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him
 must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."Hebrews 11:6 

"Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law."
Romans 3: 28 

"Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." 
James 2: 17 

 "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, 
even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ 
and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified." 
Galatians 2: 16

"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me;
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, 
who loved me and gave Himself for me."
Galatians 2: 20

In Psalm 56:11 the psalmist writes, 
“In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” 
This is an awesome testimony to the power of trusting in God. Regardless of what happens, 
the psalmist will trust in God because he knows and understands the power of God. 
The key to overcoming fear, then, is total and complete trust in God. Trusting God is a refusal to give in to fear. 
It is a turning to God even in the darkest times and trusting Him to make things right. 
This trust comes from knowing God and knowing that He is good. 
As Job said when he was experiencing some of the most difficult trials recorded in the Bible, 
“Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him” (Job 13:15 ).

Once we have learned to put our trust in God, we will no longer be afraid of the things that come against us. 
We will be like the psalmist who said with confidence “…let all who take refuge in you be glad; 
let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, 
that those who love your name may rejoice in you” (Psalm 5:11).

“The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; 
and he knows those that trust in him. ”
Nahum 1:7 
“And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: 
for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.” 
Psalm 9:10 
Pastor Jeremiah Steepek 
dressed himself as a homeless person
 and went to the 10,000 member church where he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning.
He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service....
only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him. He asked people for change to buy food....
NO ONE in the church gave him change. He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church 
and was asked by the ushers if he would please sit n the back. 
He greeted people to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, 
with people looking down on him and judging him.
As he sat in the back of the church, he listened to the church announcements and such. 
When all that was done, the elders went up and were excited to introduce the new pastor of the church to the congregation........"We would like to introduce to you Pastor Jeremiah Steepek"....
The congregation looked around clapping with joy and anticipation.....
The homeless man sitting in the back stood up.....and started walking down the aisle.....
the clapping stopped with ALL eyes on him....he walked up the altar and took the microphone
 from the elders (who were in on this) and paused for a moment....then he recited
“Then the King will say to those on his right, 
‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared 
for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, 
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 
I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, 
I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, 
‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 
When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 
When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, 
you did for me.’
After he recited this, he looked towards the congregation and told them all what he had experienced
that morning...many began to cry and many heads were bowed in shame.... 
he then said....Today I see a gathering of people......not a church of Jesus Christ. 
The world has enough people, but not enough disciples...when will YOU decide to become disciples?
He then dismissed service until next week.......Being a Christian is more than something you claim. 
It's something you live by and share with others.
