There is a faith that
stands the test of time. We know Abraham as the father of faith and the
faithful. Through his life, faith is exemplified. And from this “Friend of
God”, we learn that faith is not perfect character or integrity. Rather, it is
simply taking God at His word. Now “faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 - I will not be moved by
what I hear; I will not be moved by what I see; I will not be moved by fact; I
will not be moved by my circumstances; I will be moved by the Word of God. |

 “Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.” John 3:28 KJV
See how steady and constant John was in his testimony to Christ, and not as a feather shaken with the wind; neither the frowns of the chief priests, nor the flatteries of his own disciples, could make him change his note. REFLECTIONS
Note: [1.] As a conviction to his disciples of the unreasonableness of their complaint. They had spoken of the witness which their master bore to Jesus (John 3:26): “Now,” said John, “do you not remember what the testimony was that I did bear?

"Those who live in the Lord never see each other for the last time." What is friendship? How would you describe your friendship(s)? If you will, permit me to pass on a story I enjoy sharing every now-and- again when the topic of friendship comes up. My dad was my best teacher on the subject of life’s lessons. Did I always get it? Most times, no. But now that life has thrown me a few curve balls, I get it. I get them all! Anyway, this is how my lesson on friendship went. |
