What is faith?
"Faith is to believe what we do not see, and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe."
Author: Augustine
Proverbs 3:5-6 (New International Version)
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Faith is the foundation of our realtionship with God.
I found myself, questioning my faith. Wondering if I really belived.
God I pray for a stronger faith, where I am lacking faith God fill that place.
Amen.

have u been reading those quote in the jar thingy? is that where ur getting those quotes from?? :)
look this may sound cynical but I dont believe anything I cant grasp or have some sign that it has some semblence of realty. Blind faith is a very dangerous thing it has led to more bloodshed than anything else. Faith is a wondeful thing but only when mixed with knowledge and realism. As the Muslims say "trust in Allah, but still tie your camel". I am a christian and pride myself on having come to that conclusion through modern rationalised thought. I have had exposure to many other religons and have carefully considered all the sides to them. Their is much to be learnt in the practice of other religions. I just have come to believe in the power of the father and of his son the Christ Being. Remember that when you read the bible that it is not Gods direct word but the word of man, the words of many men some more holy than others. The bible has also been edited many times to suite the politics and personal ambitions of the organized Church. I hope I have not given offense in any way but have served only as a bearer of further knowledge. God bless and peace be with you.
Ps. Pray, by all means pray and believe, but pray with your eyes open and your mind aware always asking why you are doing this. The day you cant answer that question you have lost your faith.
