Faith
Do you have faith in the future? Take a look at your journey, are you currently stuck in your "comfort zone" or are you living in the "faith zone?" Do yourself a favor, join the faith zone! As John says, things can happen that would have never happened if you didn't change the zone you were living in.

James 2:14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?
Galatians 3:9 So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
Hebrews 11:3 (MSG) By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word, what we see created by what we don’t see.
Matthew 17:20 (MSG) “Because you’re not yet taking God seriously,” said Jesus. “The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, ‘Move!’ and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn’t be able to tackle.”
James 2:18 (MSG) I can already hear one of you agreeing by saying, “Sounds good. You take care of the faith department, I’ll handle the works department.” Not so fast. You can no more show me your works apart from your faith than I can show you my faith apart from my works. Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hand in glove.
Luke 17:6 (MSG) But the Master said, “You don’t need more faith. There is no ‘more’ or ‘less’ in faith. If you have a bare kernel of faith, say the size of a poppy seed, you could say to this sycamore tree, ‘Go jump in the lake,’ and it would do it.
2 Corinthians 1:24 (MSG) We’re not in charge of how you live out the faith, looking over your shoulders, suspiciously critical. We’re partners, working alongside you, joyfully expectant. I know that you stand by your own faith, not by ours.
Luke 17:5 (MSG) The apostles came up and said to the Master, “Give us more faith.”
Galatians 3:12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”
Hebrews 11:1-2 NLT Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation.
Hebrews 11:6 ESV And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Hebrews 11 Faith in Action Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. ...

Doubt Quotes

Quotes About Doubt

  • If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things. --RENÉ DESCARTES
  • When in doubt tell the truth. --Mark Twain
  • Doubting does not prove that a man has no faith, but only that his faith is small. And even when our faith is small, the Lord is ready to help us. --J. C. Ryle
  • I don't so much pray that my death will be without pain, but that it will be without doubt. --John Piper
  • We are raising a generation on the spiritual junk food of religious videos, movies, youth entertainment, and comic book paraphrases of the Bible. The Word of God is being rewritten, watered down, illustrated, and dramatized in order to cater to the taste of the carnal mind. That only leads further into the wilderness of doubt and confusion. --Dave Hunt
  • Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • Doubt is the incentive to truth and inquiry leads the way. --Hosea Ballou, American Clergyman (1771-  )
  • I don't so much pray that my death will be without pain, but that it will be without doubt. --John Piper
  • For some reason, we think of doubt and worry as "small" sins. But when a Christian displays unbelief...or an inability to cope with life, he is saying to the world, "My God cannot be trusted," and that kind of disrespect makes one guilty of a fundamental error, the heinous sin of dishonoring God. That is no small sin. --John MacArthur
  • Doubting does not prove that a man has no faith, but only that his faith is small. And even when our faith is small, the Lord is ready to help us. --J. C. Ryle
  • Doubt discovers difficulties which it never solves; it creates hesitancy, despondency, despair. Its progress is the decay of comfort, the death of peace. "Believe!" is the word which speaks life into a man, but doubt nails down his coffin. --Charles Spurgeon
Suzy Kassem is an American writer of Egyptian parentage whose insightful work often reflects themes of self-discovery and empowerment. In this quote, she underlines the destructive power of self-doubt and points out that the fear of failing can be more paralyzing than any actual setback. Often, it is our own hesitation that stifles our potential; it’s so easy to talk ourselves out of something scary or new with an unknown outcome. Kassem reminds us that although failure is difficult, it can also impart important lessons and growth — certainly more than we get out of never trying at all.

Possibilities Don’t End at Failure
https://youtu.be/hIRpeJSEmNU
When a person fails – often more than once while attempting to achieve the same goal – it is hard to see the possibilities that await them. And most of the time, they simply give up. But it’s not that the possibility wasn’t there; it’s that the person stopped before they reached the possibility. Possibilities are tough to get to because the reward that comes with them is so great. Get through the challenges and see the reward that is coming with your possibility!

Evangelism Quotes

Quotes About Evangelism

  • When you build relationships, you get to share your beliefs. It gives you the opportunity to share your faith with other people. --Andy Pettitte
  • I believe in having a more open mind and including others who don't share your faith and having a dialogue with them. And just having a pure heart and being a good person can bring you closer to God. Because once you believe in one particular religion fully and not others, that requires you to start disliking people who don't share your views. --Ishmael Beah
  • To me, the model example of how to share your faith is Jesus with the woman at the well in John 4. He was patient with her. He took time for her. To some degree, she was kind of disrespectful to Him at first, initially kind of blowing off what he said and blowing off what he was saying to her. But then, as it continued on, she began to understand and ultimately believed. --Greg Laurie
  • You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics. --CHARLES BUKOWSKI









Share Your Faith Positively = Share your faith in a positive way with other people. Every person is created by God, and they intuitively want to know God. When they don't know God, it is because they have the wrong picture, so when you share your faith, share it in a positive way.

https://youtu.be/PKi8iELCMSI
God Comes First = If you put God first, then you find that all the other things you need in life, you get. If you put everything else first, you will leave out of your life the most important relationship you'll ever have. If you put God and His kingdom first, then He will take care of all the others things in your life.

Scriptures
1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me [as an apostle] to baptize, but [commissioned and empowered me] to preach the good news [of salvation]—not with clever and eloquent speech [as an orator], so that the cross of Christ would not be made ineffective [deprived of its saving power].
Romans 15:20 My aim is to evangelize where Christ has not been named, so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation,
Acts 16:10 After he had seen the vision, we immediately made efforts to set out for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to evangelize them.
Philemon 1:6 I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.
Mark 16:15 ESV And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
Matthew 28:19-20 ESV Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
1 Peter 3:15 ESV But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,
Romans 10:10-17 ESV For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? ...
Matthew 9:37-38 ESV Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
Romans 1:16 ESV For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Impossible
IMPOSS'IBLE, a. [L. impossibilis; in and possibilis, from possum, to be able.]
1. That cannot be. It is impossible that two and two should make five, or that a circle and a square make five, or that a circle and a square should be the same thing, or that a thing should be, and not be at the same time.
2. Impracticable; not feasible; that cannot be done.
With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Mat 19.
Without faith it is impossible to please God. Heb 11.
There are two kinds of impossibilities; physical and moral. That is a physical impossibility, which is contrary to the law of nature. A thing is said to be morally impossible, when in itself it is possible,but attended with difficulties or circumstances which give it the appearance of being impossible. [See Possible, Practicable and Impracticable.]

Impossible
im-pos´i-b'l (verb ἀδυνατέω, adunatéō; adjective ἀδύνατος, adúnatos): “To be impossible” is the translation of adunateō, “to be powerless,” “impotent” (Mat_17:20; Luk_1:37, the Revised Version (British and American) “void of power”) adunatos, “powerless,” etc., is translated “impossible” Mat_19:26; Mar_10:27; Luk_18:27; Heb_6:4, Heb_6:18; Heb_11:6; “impossible” in Heb_6:4 is in the Revised Version (British and American) transferred to Heb_6:6); anéndektos, “not to be received” or “accepted,” is also translated “impossible” (Luk_17:1). In several of these passages it is affirmed that “nothing is impossible with God,” but, of course, this means nothing that is consistent with the Divine nature, e.g. (as Heb_6:18) it is not possible for God to lie. So, when it is said that nothing is impossible to faith, the same limitation applies and also that of the mind or will of God for us. But much more is possible to a strong faith than a weak faith realizes, or even believes.

Progress Quotes

 Quotes About Progress

  • Progress might have been all right once, but it's gone on too long. --Ogden Nash
  • Progress requires change. --Andy Stanley
  • Progress equals happiness. --Tony Robbins
  • Nothing can be done except little by little. --CHARLES BAUDELAIRE



 




The Significance of Small Steps | MWM
Small Steps Are The Stepping Stone To Bigger Things = Quantum leaps do not happen without small steps. What small steps have you decided not to take because you were looking for a bigger one? The quantum leaps that you desire will not happen without short, mundane, seemingly insignificant small steps. By taking those small, persistent steps, you can find success.



Perfectionism is Rooted in Fear
Chose Progress Over Perfection = So many of us struggle with perfectionism. It is rooted in fear and can lead to procrastination. Instead of being a perfectionist, focus on excellence—learning in the journey—the process of making something good and then great. Perfectionism is elusive, it is a state that you can never reach. If you choose excellence over perfectionism, you are choosing progress over perfection.
