The Trial of Your Faith

As I read Dr. Bill Basansky’s article it ministered to my heart and encouraged me beyond compare so I have put it here for you to read today so you can be encouraged as well.
 

Dear Friend:

By Danny Claborn

Think Right for Victorious Living

Jesus said, “It’s the thought-life that pollutes. From within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts of lust, theft, murder, adultery, wanting what belongs to others, [covetousness], wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, pride, and all other folly.  All these vile things come from within; they are what pollute [people] and make [them] unfit for God.” [...]

Your Called Place

By Danny Claborn
God has a plan for YOU!
We are all called by God, maybe not to pastor a church, but to a place of helps, leadership, or to be a prayer warrior –  “a place where we can influence others.” 
To find this place, we must study or research God’s word, pray and listen.  When we [...]

Hebrews 11:1 says “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” The first word of verse 1 is Now.  Our faith must be now!!!!  If our faith for whatever we need is not now, it must be doubt.
