The Battle of Faith

“The Battle of Faith” gives us a look inside of what it is to doubt, but that it is through this struggle that one can strengthen their faith. It is a challenge to keep an open mind and grow beyond a child’s faith.

You can’t stand effectively on “blind” faith. You must have a “knowing” faith that comes from understanding. “By faith we understand…” Hebrews 11:3

Asking Questions

To LOOK is one thing. To SEE what you look at is another. To UNDERSTAND what you see is a third. To LEARN from what you understand is still something else. But to ACT on what you learn is what really matters.

What’s it All About?

“What’s it All About?” delves into the question of the meaning of life, which a professor explains with a personal experience using that as a pictorial metaphor.

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, all the times you can, AS LONG AS YOU EVER CAN. -John Wesley (1703-1791)

Joy vs Happiness

“Joy vs Happiness” distinguishes the differences between the two and points to the source of a lasting joy that does not depend upon the circumstances of life that surround us and try to dominate our behavior.

Joy is not happiness on steroids. It is not happiness squared. Every healthy human being has the capacity to feel happiness, but joy is something entirely different, made up of its own unique substance. -Stasi Eldredge

Finding Perfection

The message in “Finding Perfection” brings out the fact that nothing in this life is perfect despite what may appear to be so and that doing our best, though not perfect, will be sufficient.

God doesn’t expect us to be perfect. All He asks is that we try our best to love Him and others.
