The Bible was written for people with no real faith.
Faith is not 'believing what we know is not true'
nor 'believing something for which there is no
evidence.' That is foolishness.
But if we have no faith, reading the Bible produce
it. And if we have some faith, we get more the same
way. There is no mystique about it. We are born be-
lievers, having faith every day in our doctors and
bankers, in our spouses and bosses. Without this
natural faith, we could nor function. Faith is
possible to everybody, including you!
Your brain is the 'doubt-box.' Of course people say,
"Seeing is believing." But if you can prove it, faith
is unneccessary! Not seeing is no reason for not be-
lieving. Nobody sees radiation, but we know its effects.
Nobody sees God, but millions see His effect in their
lives. Faith is a decision. Make that decision today!
Faith, like wiring, carries power, but it is not the
power. It links us to the Power Source, God in heaven.
Many people seek power through thousands of theories
and methods. Some Christian believers also seek the
power of God by dubious processes, like extra long
prayer of touching 'sacred' relics. But the mystic
realms are not where the disciples found power. It
is available on earth. Christ's death and resurrec-
tion made available all the divine power we could
ever need. It is the simple faith of ordinary
people that touches Christ, not mysterious spirit-
uality. Christ said "I am the way, the truth,
and the life No one comes to the Father except
throuth Me." He is the only mediator between God
and man, and for that office, He paid the infinite
price. Never underestimate the power of your faith.
