facing your giants.....

we all have them. giants in our lives.  those things that are like mountains and prevent us from being who God intended us to be when we surrender to Him.  but for some reason, we just can't face those giants.  we pretend they are not there, we take detours when we see them coming, or we feign ignorance when someone mentions them - but no matter how we try, they will always be there and you will always be in their shadow until you face them.  head on.   David did that.  he faced a huge giant - Goliath.  David only had a slingshot, a few pebbles and FAITH.  Goliath had the armour and the whole army behind him!  David had ridicule and laughter - no one thought he could do anything but fail.  yet he did not fail.  he triumphed over the giant at that stage.

i believe in….

the following 1. The divine inspiration, authority, sufficiency and inerrancy of the Bible. 2. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. One God - three Persons. 3. The virgin birth, the perfect deity and the perfect humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ. 4. The death of the Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross as the only perfect and effective sacrifice for sin, His subsequent burial, literal resurrection and ascension into heaven. 5. The personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth for and with true believers in Him. 6. The fall of man which renders all people sinners before God, necessitating the Sacrifice of Christ and the regenerating and sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. 7. The justification of the sinner by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. 8. Death is not final. There is life after death and the dead will be raised either to life or condemnation. 9. The personality of the Devil. thank you to The Fuel Project for this.  short and precise.  ...
