I know it seems like I am constantly complaining about things the Church has gotten wrong. But the reason I do this is because there are such gifts and immeasurable treasure that we are being denied. Take the matter of faith. But, really friends, the Bible gives us a very different picture. Just read the 3rd verse above again.
Faith is the power that created the universe.
Nothing will be impossible for you. Now, I want to give you just one simple, practical example from my own life. A few months ago I was working on a project with a client. It took much longer than we thought, and really wasn't going all that well. I was hot, tired, irritable, my back hurt, and I just couldn't wait until we were done and they left.
