Faith

(From a recent sermon)

Faith is personal, not global
Faith is action, not words
Faith is unleashed, not controlled
Faith is God at work, not man in charge
Faith is love, not judgment
Faith is others driven, not inward focused
Faith is open to all and closed to none
Faith is exciting, not down in the mouth
Faith takes us off the beaten road
Faith takes us to the hurt, hungry, and hopeless
Faith gets us dirty
Faith makes us smell like the people we love on
Faith points to God, not man
Faith heals
Faith conquers
Faith loves
Faith reaches out
Faith reaches down
Faith raises hands in praise to the one in whom our faith is in

No where in the scripture does it say that faith rests, dies, or is disabled.

It does say faith brings forgiveness
Strength
Salvation
Wisdom
Assurance
Life
Hope
Love

In Mark 9:23 Jesus says, “The one who has faith can do all things!”

If you have that type of faith, how can you sit on the sidelines of life and not get personally involved with those around.
