Faith? Faith is faithfully relying on and depending on God with or without a sign!

God doesn’t want people to be stuck in an outward form of godliness. (2 Timothy 3:5) He wants us to be inwardly empowered by faith. (Galatians 3:11) Faith unapplied is God denied.

God doesn’t want us to settle for sermons. He wants us to be directly led by the promptings of His Spirit. (Romans 8:14) He doesn’t want us to simply listen to lectures about the written word. God wants us to be faithful doers of it. (James 1:22-25) He wants us to listen to and obey Jesus, the living Word. (Hebrews 4:12, John 1:1-14)

Faith isn’t about just following the rules. (Titus 3:5) It’s about living by God’s righteousness, peace, and joy. (Romans 14:17) It’s not only about church attendance. It’s about the ongoing experience of the powerful presence of “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27)

It’s not about pride. It’s about humbly letting God Himself be your guide. (James 4:6) It’s not merely about Bible information. It’s about holy transformation. (2 Corinthians 5:17) It’s about letting the words of the Bible burn in your heart. (Luke 24:32)

True Christianity’s not about your political views or what’s in the news. It’s about letting the risen Jesus be your King and continually govern you from within. (Matthew 6:33) It’s about radical loyalty and obedience to the inner kingdom of God. (Luke 17:20-21)

Have you learned to walk in the Spirit? (Galatians 5:16) Are you willing to continually notice Christ’s voice and to hear it and obey it? (John 10:27) That’s what God wants for you. (2 Peter 3:9) Refuse to settle for less. Google: Beyond Church Ekklesia.
