ABOUT OUR BELIEFS: same/different
"Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see"
Hebrews 11:1 NIV
"Without faith it is impossible to please [God], for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
Hebrews 11:6 NIV
Sometimes you go thru things that unbalance your faith,
wavers your beliefs, builds your frustration, and may even compromise your confidence.
These tests of life don't occur to break you down,
but to build you up.
Strength and wisdom are not acquired by the inexperienced.
A boxer who has never trained
and doesn't know the first thing
about throwing a punch will not win the fight.
I have my days, sometimes even weeks where life's
complications badger me to the point of questioning my faith.
There is a purpose for that!
If your faith isn't tested how do you know and
more importantly, how does God know its strong?
Every time you step into the ring, he's not only there
to help you punch a little harder,
he's there when you get knocked out
and ultimately helps you get back up.
Everyday we have negativity, finances, health issues,
depression, regretful relationships,
and countless other things throwing jabs at us
and they begin to take their toll.
You may not know all the answers. You may not
see the happy ending.
However, God is a keeper of his promises
so if you're gonna fight at all,
let him be your trainer
and know that you're fighting to win.

There are times in our lives when we’ve struggled and wondered what was going on in our lives. Especially when we are trying to live life and do things according to the Word of God. Sometimes it seems as it may be better to go the world’s way because what we see happening though our eyes is working or not working with faith.
When we make that choice to follow ‘God’ we will be faced with some challenges. We will need to use and stand on our ‘Faith’.
In our Faith Corner we would like for you to share with us your experiences, struggles and challenges regarding you faith.
What happened when your faith was challenged and how did you withstand?
Did you lose your faith and follow the 'world’s way'?
Or did you stand fast and see "God's Word" prevail?
Please click here to share with us your experiences and we'll share with you ours. You may be able to 'HELP' someone facing a similar situation.
We look forward to hearing from you.
