The Object of Faith

Start your car and get it going about 50 mph! Then step on the brakes!!

What happened? Your car stopped, right? (at least I hope so...)

Why did your car stop? (if it did...if not...sorry!)

Because your brakes worked, right?

You see, everyday we jump in the car and as needed we step on the brakes by faith. We cannot see the rotors and stuff, just a pedal. You have become a believer that when you step on it, your car/truck/golf cart....will stop. That's how faith works! We cannot see God or the things that He is doing in our lives, but we know that He is there at work because you feel His presence through various activities of the day.

Take a look at nature and you can see Him as visible as your hand in front of you!

The mountains reveal the handiwork of God; the lakes reflect His beauty and the skies behold the heavens. God is real and has made it plain for us to see that He exists. He is the object of our faith and the reason we have hope. In faith, we trust that He is there and will reward those who earnestly seek Him.

The Power of Words in Music

I love contemporary rock-like music.
It's what I listen to and what I enjoy!

When someone introduced me to hymns at first I rejected it as being old and boring. After all, some of these songs were written hundreds of years ago, by old people, right?

The funny thing is, once I heard the words behind the music I realized that the message was powerful and it could change lives. Now, I still don't listen to many hymns on a regular basis, but I started attending a monthly singspiration done by the churches in my community and it's very rewarding.

You don't have to agree with me, but I want to encourage you to consider listening to a few old hymns to hear the message. I think you will agree that the message is clear and speaks to the heart. Maybe you feel like sharing your thoughts on this post. Please do!
