FAITH ISN'T FAKE...

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"
- (Hebrews 11:1)

It’s an amazing promise, isn’t it? That no matter where you are in your stillness or walk with the world God can meet you there. A lot of Christians don’t understand that it is by grace that you are saved. Grace is the absolute substance that makes God up. The next time someone asks you who God is tell them, “God is Grace” or you could simply reply, “God is Love”. God’s love and mercy abounds if we are only willing to look for it. Remember that nothing in this whole entire world can separate you from His love. As well, never forget that true faith is when you know what you believe, why you believe it, and you are committed in acting in accordance with it; and that anything less than that is not true faith. That is the kind of faith that you must have in God and the Bible.

Faith leads us beyond ourselves. It leads us directly to God. It is faith that directs our prayers and faith that directs God’s mercy on us. I am one of those who would rather sink with faith than swim without it. Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him, and expect help from Him, He will never fail you. Understand that all things can be done through Christ who strengthens you.


“The beautiful and majestic thing about this odd adventure called faith is that we can always and at any minute count on Him never to lead us astray.” - Charlie Swindoll

Going Astray...

It's an amazing promise isn't it? A wise man once said that "Good things take time; but great things happen all at once." I suppose that fear drives this place. Isn't it sad that something so made up could move mountains in our hearts. It can cause us to lose beautiful relationships, great dreams that were only footsteps away, and treasured intimacy with ourselves.

"Now faith is the substance of things hopes for, the evidence of things not seen"
-Hebrews 11:1

One thing that man has forgotten to do is "JUST LIVE". Just live... This never, though, to be confused with success because even the most successful people are not happy. Man should never forget that success created by ones own self through manipulation is success not reviving nor happy. True faith is when you know what you believe, why you believe it, and you are committed in acting in accordance with it. That is the kind of faith that one must have in God and the Bible. Anything less than that is not true faith.

The question, though, is... Is you're faith strong enough to move mountains? Can you're faith destroy than rebuild the highest temple in Jerusalem than rebuild it in 7 days. Can you're faith make peace with you're empty and unhappy past? Does you're faith make you happy? Does lift you when you are sad? Can you're faith withstand whirlwinds and hurricanes? Can you're faith fight the forces of evil?






















If not, than you're human... Welcome to the real world.

Just Another Day...

Well today's just been a real hoot!

I'm so tired of doing nothing... I'm finally in Washington but I'm not doing what I want. First off, I wanna meet people! New people! My plan is to take this experience and come back to Ohio so that I can use it to my advantage. I wanna run for Chairman of the Ohio College Republicans Federation. Sounds like quite the step there doesn't it? I know it's kind of long winded.

I don't know what else to write so I'll talk to you later...!
