As Christians, our testimony should encourage non-believers to want to know Jesus, but they can only KNOW Him through God's Word. Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 10:14, "How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard?

Life in Our Words
As Christians, our testimony is crucial for others to see God's love in us. This invites people to WANT to know Him as we share the good things about God, but when we SPEAK THE WORD, life comes into our conversation—because the Word IS life! It is powerful, and when those to whom we're witnessing … Continue reading Life in Our Words

Initially, God gave us the faith to believe that He is God and to realize that we are sinners and need to accept Jesus as our Savior, … Continue reading Why Our Faith Doesn’t Work
I Believe It!
What is faith? It's our confidence in God, the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It's NOT given automatically when we accept Jesus as our Savior. We can't get it by mimicking the words and actions of others OR reciting positive words. Faith comes from studying the Bible to … Continue reading I Believe It!
