- “...
- always
- be
- ready
- to
- give
- a
- defense
- to
- everyone
- who
- asks
- you
- a
- reason
- for
- the
- hope
- that
- is
- in
- you.”
- 1
- Peter
- 3:15.
- If
- you
- are
- asked,
- can
- you
- define
- the
- essentials
- of
- your
- faith?
- Can
- you
- give
- an
- answer
- for
- the
- hope
- that
- is
- in
- you?
- Do
- you
- know
- what
- you
- believe?
- And
- why
- you
- believe
- it?
- Would
- you
- know
- what
- to
- say?
- “Therefore,
- brethren,
- stand
- fast
- and
- hold
- the
- traditions
- that
- you
- were
- taught,
- whether
- by
- Word
- or
- our
- epistle.”

- of
- Scripture,

- and
- the

- Church
- Fathers.
- “Those
- from
- among
- you
- shall
- build
- the
- old
- waste
- places;
- you
- shall
- raise
- up
- the
- foundations
- of
- many
- generations;
- and
- you
- shall
- be
- called
- the
- Repairer
- of
- the
- Breach,
- the
- Restorer
- of
- Streets
- to
- Dwell
- In.”

- Biblical
- Faith
- and
- Modern
- Counterfeits
- -
- There
- is
- much
- talk
- about
- faith,
- but
- little
- understanding
- of
- what
- faith
- is.
- Too
- many
- people
- think
- of
- faith
- as:
- "A
- blind
- leap
- into
- the
- dark"
- –
- the
- very
- opposite
- of
- reason
- and
- logic.
- All
- too
- many
- think
- of
- faith
- as
- wishful
- thinking,
- along
- of
- the
- line
- of
- "wishing
- upon
- a
- star.”
- It
- would
- seem
- that
- many
- people
- are
- confusing
- presumption
- with
- Faith.
- "You
- ask
- and
- do
- not
- receive,
- because
- you
- ask
- amiss…"
- James
- 4:3.Many
- people
- proclaim
- faith
- today,
- but
- all
- too
- often
- it
- is
- fake
- faith.
- Many
- times,
- what
- is
- being
- promoted
- is
- faith
- in
- faith.
- However,
- Biblical
- Faith
- is
- all
- about
- the
- Object
- of
- that
- Faith.
- You
- can
- have
- all
- the
- faith
- in
- the
- world,
- misdirected,
- and
- it
- will
- do
- you
- no
- good.
- It
- is
- not
- the
- amount
- of
- faith
- that
- matters,
- but
- in
- Whom
- you
- place
- your
- faith.
- “Expect
- Great
- Things
- from
- God!
- Attempt
- Great
- Things
- for
- God!”Biblical
- Faith
- is
- bold
- and
- brave
- and
- has
- its
- boots
- on.
- Do
- not
- settle
- for
- less
- than
- God's
- very
- best.Book

“‘The
