Why I Hate Debate So Much.

Remember, if Our Father didn't believe in you, He could have just cut you off. However, you're still here and He KNOWS that there are things for you to accomplish.

You are the best man for our God to use to accomplish whatever it is that He has for you to do. GOD doesn't make bad investments. You're not through and He's not through with you.

Unfulfilled dreams can be a source of pain, but don't let them go. Your untapped potential can still be tapped and as long as you are breathing. With Christ, you have the ability to do great things-- despite what reality is yelling today.

Tell me, what is faith?

Matt, I am glad to see you, whenever you post here.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. To me, faith is believing in the unbelievable, the untappable wonder that is good that can come from any source, good or bad. It's the desire in the human spirit to overcome. The zeal of a newborn convert. The inability to give up on something. The knowledge in a child's heart that mommy will take care of everything. The insane thought of hope in a hopeless situation. Faith keeps us alive. Faith keeps us from dying spiritually. Faith is the breath of fresh air when the enemy is pushing down on your lungs. Faith is unfailing. When you are looking at a mack truck bearing down on you on a one lane road with bumper rails on the sides, there is no way you are not going to die, faith allows you to scream JESUS HELP ME! Faith is dangerous. Because when you have all the faith in the world, and you are continually let down, faith doesn't let you accept reality. Sorry to kill your buzz.
