Faith

   Faith is not something we think about anymore. We are so busy
with our lives that we just do things without thinking, but everything
we do takes faith.
    We go to sleep at night looking faithfully towards another day. We
get up having faith that our place of employment is still standing. We
make reservations having faith that we will get there on time.
     Faith and belief are inter-related, the first step is taken with faith.
Belief comes as we act upon our faith. This is true whether we are
talking about spiritual things or secular things. Faith works best when
we are totally committed. Faith causes us to take that first step towards
baptism. Faith in ourselves allows us to move forward in business and
life.
    Our faith becomes the foundation that we build our beliefs on. Faith
 is the beginning of belief. Faith can move mountains, belief moves
mountains.
    What do you put your faith into?
    Whatever we put our faith into, we will eventually believe in. Let
me give you an example, if a scientist has faith in Evolution, they will
look for things explained by Evolution. A Christian has faith in God,
they will look for things explained by God.
    We see this faith in our politics. A conservative looks for things to
advance conservatism. A liberal looks for things that advance liberalism.
When you have invested faith in something, anything, you look for
ways to bring people into believing in your ideology.
    This can be used for both good and evil. Hitler put his faith into
the Arian Nation. Stalin put his faith into Communism. Peter, the
Apostle put his faith into Jesus Christ.
    Whatever we put our faith into, we will eventually believe.
