Faith

The “Great Commission” has turned into the “Big Question” in our society. In the Great Commission, Jesus commands believers to: “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.” In our post-modern culture, resistance to that command now causes many Christians to ask: “is sharing Christ pushing my faith on others?”

Family history and dynamics shape the faith and destiny of every member. The children often reflect their parent’s sins and personalities. Sibling influences siblings. In the case of Jacob and his sons that history and dynamic turned to heartache. But God turned it into good.

What kind of faith do you have? Is it passive or active? Does it sit at home enjoying the benefits of God or does it adventure into obedient action?

It’s curious isn’t it, how a few choice words can sap our physical, emotional, and spiritual strength…how even heroes of the faith can be tempted to abandon God’s work by well-timed taunts and mockery.
