FaithLooking Past Circumstances
Faith is the ability to look past adverse circumstances and see God’s hand at work.
(Kent Crockett, I Once Was Blind But Now I Squint, Chattanooga, TN: AMG Publishers, 2004, 148)
Believing in What You Cannot See
Through faith we can believe in things that we can’t see, based upon God’s revelation that they do indeed exist. (Kent Crockett, Making Today Count for Eternity, Sisters, OR: Multnomah Publishers, 2001, p. 37)
Faith, Doubt, and Unbelief
When Peter saw by faith he actually could walk on water, he made a commitment with both of his feet to step over the rim. Unbelief keeps both feet inside the boat. Doubt takes one step out of the boat and keeps one foot in. But faith steps completely out of the boat. (Kent Crockett, The 911 Handbook, Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers, 2003, 71)
Overcoming the Giants
"God put giants in the Promised Land to keep unbelievers out." --Jimmy Evans
