- Sowing Your Faith In The Garden Of Prayer
By: Beth Guide | - Gardening has always given us a sense of well-being and a connection to something greater than ourselves. The fruits of our labor can now bring us closer to our faith in the form of a prayer garden. The very act of gardening is often an act of faith - faith that the seeds we plant will reward us with their beauty and their gifts.
And there is a wonderful, calming simplicity to our lives when we take the time to work the good earth in our hands. When we take the opportunity to bui ...

- Daily Devotion: How To Have Real Faith
By: Edwin Joseph | - For the past few months I've been searching for answers regarding the direction and message that God wants me to share and the cellgroup / bible study that I am handling.

- Finding Investments You Can Be Proud To Own
By: Jay Peroni | - This week I was reminded of Jacob's Dream found in Genesis 28. "When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the Lord, and he said: "I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. ...

By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Could Yoga help you restore your faith in humanity? Have you ever had "one of those days" where everything seemed to go wrong? On one of those days, it may start with one crisis of the moment, and continue onto the next, until we become exhausted by the events of the day.

- Faith Based Wealth: A Blessing Or A Curse?
By: Jay Peroni | - Many people assume that any book that has the word "millionaire" associated with "Christian" is one that promises health and prosperity to those who are Christians who adhere to the Bible. Nothing could be further from the truth. God does wish to bless us but He does expect us to be good stewards with the blessing he bestows upon us. God doesn't need our money. He uses it as a tool to help His people. Those blessed with wealth have a greater responsibility.
I have found the wealt ...

- Does Do It Yourself Investing Really Make Sense
By: Jay Peroni | - Many investors choose to handle their own finances. Typical reasons why people choose to invest on their own include, but are not limited to:

* Expertise in the area of finance.
* They enjoy and have time to do the proper research.

By: Jeanine M | - The decisions we make in life sometimes have lasting consequences. One of those lasting choices has to do with what you believe about Jesus Christ.
Who do you say Jesus is? This is a question that has eternal significance. What you do with Jesus will determine your eternal destiny.

- Good-faith Estimate: The Key To Loan Comparisons
By: Amanda Hash | - The good faith estimate is an excellent tool for making loan comparisons. This figure provides a thorough idea of the overall costs implied in any financial transaction and thus constitutes a great instrument for assessing whether a loan has advantageous terms or not. Nevertheless, it is important to know how this tool works because as its name indicates, it is only an estimate and therefore its reading must be done with caution and prudence.

- Understanding What
By: Mike Abourezk | - "Bad faith" laws are state laws that seek to penalize insurance companies for denying, delaying or withholding payments or other benefits to policyholders that file legitimate claims covered by valid policies. Some industry observers argue that the reason there is no federal legislation in this area is because of the size and strength of the insurance industry, and its powerful lobbyists and political allies. Be that as it may, it is important to deal with the reality of bad faith law, and under ...

- Faith Vs. Fear: Are You Running Scared Or Believing In God?
By: Debbra Sweet | - The word (the written bible) is filled with instruction in the areas of faith and fear. It is up to us to work the word, study it, learn it and hold onto the information God has so beautifully laid out for our learning.
The word also speaks often of rumors of wars in divers (many) places'. It talks about famine, upheavals of people and the bad decisions people made and the consequences that come along with it.

- Journey Of Faith
By: Francis Hirak | - What is our journey of faith and how do we get the true understanding of how faith works in our lives? How do we structure and build upon faith as we take our journey through life to where we become strong to the point of maturity?
Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld. It coveys the idea of something that underlies visible conditions and guarantees a future possession. Faith is, therefore, the basis for hope ...

- Where Is Your Faith?
By: Annagail Lynes | - What should we place our faith in? In our church denominations? Our elders? The popular television ministries?
Today prominent ministries, prominent preachers and denominations are being swayed by every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14), such as the inclusion doctrine that teaches two ways to enter Heaven: one, by accepting Jesus Christ and two, by being good.
We cannot be good enough to enter Heaven on our own. That is why Jesus died and rose from the dead. A ...

The American electorate cannot be expected to buy into the myth that a candidate's faith will not influence their electability. Platform and politics over prayer. Spin over spirit. Facts over faith.

- Faith Plus Action Equals Miracles
By: ann7 | - It is good to have great faith. However, did you know that if your faith is not connected to action, it is dead? Really! James explains it this way:
"Thou believeth that there is one God: thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, o vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?"

- The Great Power Of Faith
By: Andrew Schwartz | - In my life happened terrible things, I was pregnant and lost my baby. It was very painful, but I managed to continue my life, because I had already a daughter, and I decided to live for her. Later I opened my heart to God. The day understood that my prayers were heard by God was when my husband and I could smile again. We could even laugh. Then we began talking about love. Our faith in God came back. Now I look at everything more closely. I live every day with God in my heart. I now let God ...

- Faith: The Essential Virtue
By: akw | - Anyone reading the Bible, not least the New
Testament part, must be struck by the considerable
emphasis which is placed on faith. Of course, faith is what ultimately ensures our salvation so we would
expect it to receive considerable stress. That aspect of faith is what takes us out of this life into the Kingdom.
Yet this is not an act of faith which, as it
were, stands alone. It is the ultimate act of faith which, albiet having guided our lives, ...

- Faith Hill Fireflies Country Music Cd Review
By: Clyde Lee Dennis | - Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Fireflies gets. Fireflies put simply is one of Faith Hill's best CDs to date.
Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Fireflies. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to l ...

- Perseverance - The Key To Answered Prayer
By: Rob Marshall | - There is a somewhat strange parable in Luke 11. It comes in the middle of some teaching that Jesus is doing in answer to the disciple's request: Lord, teach us to pray.
What immediately follows their request is a sample prayer that we now call the Lord's Prayer. In our church we have a time of community prayer every Sunday when we praise God for answers to prayer, and bring our requests to Him as a church. We always conclude that time with the Lord's Prayer. It's a great examp ...

- Relationships- Does Your Partner Have Faith In You?
By: cdmohatta | - A relationship is based on faith. At least most of the relationships are based on faith. Some relationships are based on convenience. But most of the relationships will collapse if faith is absent. What is faith in a relationship and how to know if your partner has faith in you?
Are you sure that your partner has faith in you? For example, if you leave your mail box open and go out for sometime, do you believe that your partner will not surf through the mails and find out whom you ...

- Why Faith Is So Important For Success
By: Stephen Kennedy | - I recently purchased the new version of the timeless classic, "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill (1937). Through the years, the original text had been edited to make it more contemporary. But current wisdom says the original message stands the test of time, so the version I read is the original manuscript fully restored, annotated, indexed and revised by Ross Cornwell.
When I first read this book, it profoundly changed my life. That first reading took place more than 20 years ...

- When Seeing Is Believing
By: Rob Marshall | - We are constantly being bombarded with images. A lot of them are marketing and advertising messages that we see on TV, billboards, or in the paper. And when it comes to the Internet, advertising is everywhere from email to almost every web page you visit. But when it comes to our lives and our faith, it's the images in our minds that have the greatest impact on us.

By: Gary Kurz | - A little boy pushed his tiny hand into the Pastor's and said "morning pastor, can I ask you a question?" The Pastor, with his usual warm smile said "Sure Billy, what is it?" "Well" said Billy, "I was wondering what it means to be a Christian"?
"Well Billy" responded the Pastor, "I talk about that every Sunday. I will be explaining it again this morning, but just so you don't have to wait, a Christian is just someone who has given up their sin to the Lord and accepted him as th ...

- Christians In America - An Unbelieving Generation?
By: Rob Marshall | - In a lot of ways I'm pretty average. I may be a bit taller than some, and probably weigh more than I should, but there isn't really anything extraordinary about me. So when I read the stories in the Bible, and think about how the majority of the people who were there reacted, I assume that I would have done what everyone else was doing.
One example is the story in Mark 9:14-29 about a father who brought his demon-possessed son to be healed. When the father came to the disciples ...

- Parable Of The Sower: A Lesson On Faith And Abundance
By: Rob Marshall | - Many people have heard the statement, "You reap what you sow." Or, as my wife learned when she was making drapes for a living, "You rip what you sew." When it comes to sowing and reaping we often fail to enjoy the blessings that God has for us because we don't fully understand the lesson of the parable of the sower.
The parable of the sower is important because Jesus told his disciples that they needed to understand it in order to be able to understand all the parables (Mark 4:1 ...

- Faith That Moves Mountains: First, Forget The Mountain
By: Rob Marshall | - When reading Jesus' words in Mark 11:22-24, I have never known whether the mountain he mentions is symbolic or real. The Bible simply says, "'Have faith in God,' Jesus answered. 'I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea," and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.'"

- Dear God, I'm Mad As Hell
By: Rob Marshall | - Copyright 2006 Rob Marshall
In Bible studies that I've taught, I've often had people talk with me afterwards and mention that they're struggling because they're not getting answers to their prayers. They want to have faith, they don't think that they're doing anything wrong, but nothing seems to be happening, nothing is changing.
It reminds me of a theme that comes up throughout the Psalms. It's a theme that we don't like to talk about because it seems like the Psal ...

By: Rob Marshall | - Copyright 2006 Rob Marshall
Have you ever wondered why your prayers go unanswered? If you're like a lot of people, you've probably spent a lot of time doing some soul searching trying to figure out what's wrong. We keep making our requests to God, but our prayers seem to fall on deaf ears.
There could be a number of things causing problems, but the main problem that plagues most of us may surprise you. The simple fact is: We don't know what God wants. We spend all o ...

- A Simple Formula For Faith Can Help You Reach Your Dreams
By: Rob Marshall | - Copyright 2006 Rob Marshall
When I first starting telling people that we were going to move to Germany, I had no idea how we were going to do it. We didn't have the money to pay for the move, we didn't know anybody in Germany and I had no idea how I was going to find work. It seemed like it was an impossible dream, but I did have one thing going for me, I had faith.
It's like one of my favorite stories from the Bible, the story of David and Goliath. When David tol ...

- Simplest Way To Be Healed By Faith
By: Dr. Jay Snell | - Of all the ways our blessed Lord has given us for healing by faith, the following is the easiest. It must be ministered by the elders of the church. James gave us the instructions for this way of healing in the following Scriptures.
James 5:14-15

I believe that any believer can be a faith healer if they will just do what God says...if they will just act upon His word.
Some of my earliest experiences ministering healing by faith came in a denominational church where I was pastor. I gave an invitation in one of our services for those needing healing to come forward. Between twenty ...
