Faith is more than a cold metallic assent. 

Quotes 0
Faith isn't cold agreement with facts about Godu2014it's trust that reshapes the heart, the will, and the way we live each day.

Atheism postulates that man has sufficient knowledge to categorically state that there is no God. What world religion has more faith than that?

Quotes 4

Quotes 0
Science isn't a rival to faith - it's a window into the vast, intricate mind of the God who spoke the universe into being.

Close obedience of God is still failure.

Quotes 0
Saul's near-obedience cost him the kingdom. Scripture shows that partial compliance with God's commands is still open rebellion.

Evangelism – a focus on the joy of Heaven rather than the fear of Hell. 

Quotes 0
Real evangelism leads with the joy of Heaven, not just the fear of Hell - because the gospel is good news before it's a warning.

Of the 117 Billion Who Ever Lived on the Earth, None Have Been Lost (John 18:9)

Quotes 2

If you love money you will use people. If you love people you will use money. 

Quotes 0
Jarrod Scott's quote cuts to the heart: love money and you'll use people; love people and you'll rightly use money instead.

Those who limit their theology to “love thy neighbor” blend in with society, but not with Christ.

Quotes 2
Real faith doesn't stop at kindness. It confesses sin, bows to Christ's lordship, and proclaims the whole truth of the gospel.

It’s peaceful to remain theologically stationary, with the Creator, as mankind rotates around changing cultural norms.

Quotes 4
Jeff Hilles reminds us that true peace comes not from chasing cultural trends but from standing fixed on the unchanging God.

One cannot truly understand the concept of “Faith”, unless they already have it.

Quotes 0
Faith cannot be argued into someone from the outside; it is known from within, and real belief always precedes real understanding.
