“Untested faith is just an idea, it becomes real when it’s genuine and it’s refined by fire.” Pastor Chuck
”Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.“ James 1:2-4
When people question the depth and strength of my faith (and they often do) and how I can believe the way I do, I tell them that I’ve seen God come through and His amazing work so many times that I trust Him to always get it right. I know that getting it right doesn’t always look right to me and to others, but He has shown me that His ways are so much better than mine that I’m happy to see His will and purposes unfold. I’m not saying that it has been easy to have my faith tested by the trials I have persevered through, but they were worth it.
