Here’s a thing.
It’s amazing how many definitions, interpretations of the term faith there are. It’s equally amazing how emotive talking about faith can become.
Just try telling someone that their concept of the term faith is wrong!
Or that they don’t have faith!
Or that you do have faith and it looks like …!
For me faith has to do with a simple word called BECOMING.
Okay not so simple because here we go again. Becoming means this…Becoming means that.
How do we go forward then?
I’m not sure but for me becoming has to do with living or more to the point:
Changing:
From a life based on rules: social restrictions: control: guilt: peer pressures: fear and all the other emotions that can control our lives:
To
One of trust in the Creator of all that there is.
Kinda like – I’m at one with all that is past and all that is future and I trust that my life has meaning and purpose just like Jesus’ life had meaning and purpose.
Are you struggling with your faith then pray the prayer on the Tell Me about Jesus link and start your road to BECOMING.

Eish - once again, food for thought & I personally think you've "hit the nail on the head" .... CHANGE is the only CONSTANT in life !!! "Through Him & in Him ..." - waytago ....
On Monday I read an artical it the Star about a killing in Roodepoort, and thing that got me the most was that they report that the lady started to pray, and the killers sais"what are you prayiong for, there is no god that can help you.
We need to address this, it is both sad and worring. We need to bring God back into South Africa, into our familiies.
WE NEED TO BRING GOD BACK.

A real tough one.
Let me say first of all, the lady's faith is remarable. That she prayed in that momment!!!
I might have been crying for them to spare my life.
What faith she had.
Did Jesus not turn to God the Father in his momment both before and on the Cross?
I will never understand why God allows such things to happen ..and others too. But I choose to trust in God (I hope I can even in a critical mommnet for myself and my family).
For me, God is here in this country, He never went anywhere.
I trust in Him and that He has a plan no matter wha/who tries to influence that plan.
