Great my entire life is turned upside down because all Oregonians don't sing, really I don't think life can go on with that realization.<BR/><BR/>Well I guess you'll have to leave the singing to Steve (though not in the spirit of the O Holy Night rendition) and the preaching to you.

Even if the evidence is against you, you believe. Whether it be in God, someone's love, someone's innocence or yourself. When everything is against you, you believe.<BR/><BR/>AND it's a really good George Michael song.

Faith is that anything and everything that happens to me weather good or bad will always make me stronger, God will always use it to his advantage, and I say if the only way for God to use me is something bad happening to me then I so be it, I am willing to let his light shine no matter what. Faith is when the end of the world comes I will hear the words well done my good and faithfull servant.<BR/><BR/>In Christ<BR/><BR/>Logan BennettLogan Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14518859110944504298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823313.post-1134447738285703792005-12-12T22:22:00.000-06:002005-12-12T22:22:00.000-06:00wow thanks guys, your definitions are so personal and yet all have the same thread and heart (love that).<BR/><BR/>Keep them coming, I'm processing so the more thoughts, the more definitions, the more individual workings of this concept are manna (is it one n or two?) to my thought processingKatiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04629402341234199208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823313.post-1134443479475196112005-12-12T21:11:00.000-06:002005-12-12T21:11:00.000-06:00THANKS A HEAP, STEVE.<BR/><BR/>;-)Jayleighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08759524982305481004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823313.post-1134443310364195682005-12-12T21:08:00.001-06:002005-12-12T21:08:00.001-06:00I believe the verse eddo quited was Heb. 11:1.<BR/><BR/>Faith is having someone to believe in or something to believe in. Faith is not blind. <BR/><BR/>I like to say there is evidence behind the faith that I have and that makes it stronger.<BR/><BR/>God puts trials & obstacles in our lives to test our faith and to see what it is made of. <BR/><BR/>Everyone has faith in something. If they tell you otherwise then they're lying. <BR/> <BR/>What some people put faith in really scares the (you know what) out of me....greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16685234701557906457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823313.post-1134443293217447822005-12-12T21:08:00.000-06:002005-12-12T21:08:00.000-06:00Faith is "fake it 'till you make it." It is professing His goodness and justness even when it feels like the whole world is against you.<BR/><BR/>Faith is a "head thing." It's not wearing your feelings on your sleeve. It's knowing in your HEAD that what God said it true no matter how your heart wants to ball up in a corner and just cry.<BR/><BR/>It's praising Him on the mountains AND in the valleys.<BR/><BR/>Faith is believing that Jesus died for me. Even if I was the only person, He would have still gone through all the horror, just for me.<BR/><BR/>Faith is knowing in my heart that I am an adopted daughter of the King!<BR/><BR/>Ooooh. Thanks for the exercise. I have goosebumps!Jayleighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08759524982305481004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823313.post-1134440565935433922005-12-12T20:22:00.000-06:002005-12-12T20:22:00.000-06:00Oh, and I guess I should get a blogger ID.

But anything worth having usually is. Without it....well, what's the point then. Some people lose faith. I feel sorry for them, but I wonder if they really had it to begin with. Bad things happen, your heart breaks, you wonder why me? Where is God? Why did He let this happen? But hey, isn't our faith there to comfort us in our pain....not shield us from it, or how else are we gonna know we are alive. I don't think that faith is trusting in the unknown. I believe it is knowing the One to trust. THen...everything just falls into place.

She's married to Tim McGraw, isn't she?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>As I understand it, faith is seeing things for as they really are and not as they appear to be. This digs not only at the redemptive potential of individuals, relationship, and the world, but it also uncovers the side of us that God sees and we may not yet fully understandTony Myleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14429290964564728645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823313.post-1134433285036406322005-12-12T18:21:00.000-06:002005-12-12T18:21:00.000-06:00Faith is a firm persuasion. It's a conviction based upon what you have heard. It's a belief that is so solid nobody or nothing can take it away. You know that you know that you know. And the "hope" in "Faith is the substance of things hoped for..." is not hope like we think of the word (like when we wish something would come true). This hope is a confident expectation. Our rock-solid beliefs are the foundation for what we confidently expect.<BR/><BR/>Great, I should NOT have read about George Michael. Thanks Steve! There was some good guitar in that song, but I could do without the images of his butt. Man, now all his 80's songs are rotating every 10 seconds in my head.
