Devotional Day 5

Yesterday we covered the most common #1 reason why Atheists become Atheists. That was Evidence.

In today's study we will be covering the #2 reason which is faith.

Faith is best defined as believing in something you can't see.

In my work I hear all the time from Atheists that the reason that they don't believe is because they have no faith.

So a good relatable thing to faith is the story of Lee Strobel.

Strobel was a hardcore Atheist who claimed to "have no faith". But throughout the research that he was going through he figured out what faith actually is.

Sometimes we may be low on faith.

But when I hear atheists say they don't believe since they don't have faith.  I ask them,  do you believe in oxygen? Since we can't see oxygen but we believe it.  They always say yes,  that they believe in oxygen.

PRAYER:
Lord God,  I pray that you give me faith through the hard times.  Amen.

SCRIPTURE:

Matthew 8:26 NIV

QUESTIONS:

1) Describe a time when you had "no faith" but in the end you found you had faith.

2) How could YOU teach someone about faith during their hard times?

Raised In A Prosperity Gospel Church: Behind Closed Doors

This will be a fun story to tell. For the longest time when I was a kid me and my grandmother went to a Assemblies of God church which is known for the Prosperity Gospel. My grandmother put so much money into the church and she didn't know what this pastor was actually doing with the money. This pastor was spending the money on gambling. He claimed to his church members that the church would close. Turns out it eventually did due to loss of funds. My grandmother went into bankrupt because of this church. That is not all. This "pastor" claimed to be blind and losing all his health. My family members spotted this guy driving. I feel ashamed to call this a church. I believed in this church. I was fooled by this Pastor. But God gave me guidance into it. God saved me and my family from it and brought us to a church that is Gospel Preaching.

Song Opinion: "One Thing Remains" by Bethel

"One Thing Remains" by Bethel Music expresses the One Thing that has never changed over the ages and that thing is Jesus' love. The verse of the song goes: " higher than the mountains that I face stronger than the power of the grave constant in the trial and the change This one thing remains This one thing remains" Whatever we are going through Jesus will always be there. He is constant in the trial and the change, only One Thing Remains. I absolutely love how the Chorus goes: " your love never fails, it never gives up it never runs out on me  Your love never fails, it never gives up it never runs out on me  Your love never fails, it never gives up it never runs out on me  Your love" The one thing that never changes through the ages is his eternal love. Ever since he first sent Jesus Christ his love has endured forever. His love never changes. There may be pain in the night, but I can assure you that joy comes in the morni

Song Opinion: "Reckless Love" by Cory Asbury

"Reckless Love" by Cory Asbury reflects a love that is reckless. If you look closely at the word Reckless it comes out as " characterized by or proceeding from such carelessness:" But was God actually Reckless? It depends on how YOU define Reckless. If you look at the bible believe it or not Jesus was Reckless. If we look at the story whenever Jesus was in the temple and he supposedly flipped over many tables. He was reckless in that story. But he only flipped over 1 table because to be truthful if he flipped over many wouldn't he get kicked out of the temple.  But what was on that table, you ask? The answer to that question is Lambs to be sacrificed. But let's get to the song. Verse 1 of the song goes: Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me You have been so, so good to me Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me You have been so, so kind to me Yes God, has been out there since the very beginning, at least the song ha
