REVELATION AND FAITH

FAITH AND PURPOSE

“If the blind put their hands in God’s, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose. ” ~ Helen Keller

FAITH ALONE?

It is faith alone that justifies but faith that justifies can never be alone. – John Calvin

WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING

"Beginning empty handed and alone frightens the best of men. It also speaks volumes of just how sure they are that God is with them" - Gene Edwards

TRUSTING IN LOVE

"How glorious the splendor of a human heart that trusts that it is loved." -Brennan Manning

APATHY

"The biggest barrier to a relationship with Christ is not disbelief, but rather apathy. - Blaise Pascal

TRUSTING THE ENGINEER

"When the train goes through a tunnel and the world gets dark, do you jump out? Of course not. You sit still and trust the engineer to get you through." - Corrie Ten Bppm

FAITH IS AN ACT OF WILL

Faith is not an instinct. It certainly is not a feeling - feelings don't help much when you're in the lions' den or hanging on a wooden Cross. Faith is not inferred from the happy way things work. It is an act of will, a choice, based on the unbreakable Word of a God who cannot lie, and who showed us what love and obedience and sacrifice mean, in the person of Jesus Christ. - Elisabeth Elliott

REALLY BELIEVING IN GOD

Those who believe they believe in God, but without passion in the heart, without anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, and even at times without despair, believe only in the idea of God, and not in God himself. 
                                                         ― Madeleine L'Engle

FAITH IN GOD

"Faith is not believing in my own unshakable belief. Faith is believing an unshakable God when everything in me trembles and quakes."  - Contributed  by Cheryl Keckler Conley

FEAR

"If fear is cultivated it will become stronger, if faith is cultivated it will achieve mastery. "- John Paul Jones

FAITH IS NOT

"Faith is not an instinct. It certainly is not a feeling - feelings don't help much when you're in the lions' den or hanging on a wooden Cross. Faith is not inferred from the happy way things work. It is an act of will, a choice, based on the unbreakable Word of a God who cannot lie, and who showed us what love and obedience and sacrifice mean, in the person of Jesus Christ."
- Elizabeth Elliott

FAITH AND REASON

"Can man live without God? Of course he can, in a physical sense. Can he live without God in a reasonable way? The answer to that is No!"

—Ravi Zacharias, Can Man Live Without God

INVINCIBLE SECURITY

"There is a fullness to life, a purpose, sense of belonging and invincible security when one lives by faith."
- Shari Riley, posted in BIBLICAL JOY, the on-line Bible study of the Church of God of Landisville
