They are not yes/no questions, or even questions about facts or feelings. Mark’s insights are helpful in any area of life, work, or ministry. http://faithgateway.com/god-will-provide/ 2013-12-17T06:00:03-05:00 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly. But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were […] http://faithgateway.com/3-bible-studies-on-faith/ 2013-12-10T06:00:04-05:00 I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief! - Father of a possessed boy, Mark 9.24 Many of us could echo this sentiment of the father from Mark chapter 9. Doubt often means asking questions or being uncertain regarding issues of faith.  You believe – but you have difficulties with that faith, or are worried about […] http://faithgateway.com/daniel-plan-bible-study/ 2013-12-08T06:00:03-05:00 Many of us are disciplined when it comes to spiritual practices like reading our Bible or going to church, but we may not have that same discipline when it comes to caring for our physical health. Others are careful about eating habits, but ignore caring for the soul. But our spiritual health and physical well-being […] http://faithgateway.com/real-meaning-of-christmas/ 2013-12-05T06:00:05-05:00 We hear it all the time, “don’t forget the meaning of Christmas.” Yet how many people know the real meaning of Christmas? According to a survey released this week by the American Bible Society, 94% of Americans celebrate Christmas but only 15% of Americans read the Bible’s account of the birth of Christ as part of their […] http://faithgateway.com/purpose-thanksgiving/ 2013-11-28T06:00:05-05:00 “For the Christian, every day is Thanksgiving Day.” — Billy Graham Consider the word “Thanksgiving”, and invariably images of family gatherings come to mind. Such gatherings with turkey dinners, pumpkin pies, fall decorations, football, and tryptophan grogginess are all too common in American homes. This may be what Thanksgiving has become but it is not the […] http://faithgateway.com/beauty-of-new-belief/ 2013-11-23T06:00:06-05:00 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego must have been in disbelief when they heard about the golden image on the plain of Dura. I can just hear them saying to one another, “I thought losing our homes, being kidnapped from our families, and forced into the king’s service was bad enough, and now we’re threatened with death […] http://faithgateway.com/soldiers-marching-orders/ 2013-11-19T06:00:05-05:00 Second Timothy 2:3 says, “Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.” A soldier has to know his instructions. Orders are rules of play. King Jesus said, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you” (John 20:21). We can learn the rules of play, if we read in the Bible […] http://faithgateway.com/thoughts-about-holiness-transformed-mind/ 2013-11-18T06:00:05-05:00 “I am not indebted to you, nothing stands between us.” This is a greeting in Uganda, Africa. How do we know in our lives that we have been set apart, have been made holy? By our actions and response. I remember how my sister Betsie really grew in holiness. I once read a letter which […] http://faithgateway.com/those-crazy-christians/ 2013-11-06T06:00:05-05:00 Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. — James 2:17 “Those Crazy Christians.” I have a song on my album Wheelhouse by this title. The song is written from the point of view of someone baffled by people of faith. Most puzzling to the skeptic in the song is not the faith itself, but […]
