    Seeing And Believing

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 2, 2015
     | 3,726 views

    Some people refuse to believe that Jesus rose from the dead because they have not seen him with their own eyes. They want concrete proof. On the other hand, all of us know that Jesus rose from the dead because we believe it in faith.

    Good morning boys and girls! Has anyone told you something that was so amazing that you could not believe it? Sometimes people like to tell us things that we can’t believe.

    Only a vital Christianity creates vital Christians.

    Without Jesus at the center of our faith and life, what are we left with? As far as our Christianity goes, it’s going to be nothing more than some form of bland moralism, religious formalism, or an anemic spirituality that neither motivates us nor appeals to others. We must have a ...read more
