Are they synonymous? Some people, even Christians believe faith is faking it till you make it. If that were true, then there would be nothing different between our human will and what the bible calls faith.

Don’t miss God in a crisis
There’s a story of a man in a crisis, who by faith, trusts God to deliver him. I’m going to recount the story here. The Drowning Man (source unknown) It begins with this man sitting on top of his roof during a flood. He prays to God for help. Soon a man in a rowboat …
Working out your salvation and receiving from God
Working out your salvation and receiving from God
What does it mean to “work out” your salvation? The Apostle Paul uses this term ‘working out your salvation’ in the letter he wrote to the Philippian Church.
Living in the Blessing – part 2
Great and Precious Promises
He did it so we could be like Him on earth.
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. Psalms 82:6

Living in the Blessing – part 1
What is the blessing
Are you blessed? Do you know if you are?
Before we begin, let’s clarify that we are not talking about a religious cliché in which most Christians would emphatically say “oh yes, I’m blessed” as they recall certain good things. The Blessing is much more than the proper thing to say in Christian circles. It’s more than the world’s view of measuring your economic status, material wealth, family circumstances, career success, etc.
Faith to obtain the victory

And everything God has given by grace is received through faith. So what is it? The Bible defines faith for us. Hebrews 11:1 …

Basics of salvation – part 1
I’d like to talk to you about salvation. What is it and why does it matter? Some of you reading this might think that’s pretty basic and you don’t need more teaching. Praise God, you obviously have some background into your decision to make Jesus your Lord and Savior. Let’s be sure, as the apostle …
The sower sows The Word
Grace is God’s provision for man’s every need; spirit, soul, and body. Romans 8:32 says, “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” Grace = Jesus (God’s provision for man’s every need; spirit, soul, and body) …
