Faith

The faith to persevere

Perseverance means more than endurance— more than simply holding on until the end. A man's life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the man cannot see. The strength to persevere, then, comes down to trust.

How faith affects our work (Part 1)

We applaud business that does good for society, especially those who need a hand. Companies that put people above profits, and principles over prices. But who determines what's moral when America is so divided on what's right vs. wrong? Tim Keller addresses this question and 3 other ways that faith intersects and shapes our work.

How God Builds Your Faith – Dead Ends

By Rick Warren “At that time we were completely overwhelmed, the burden was more than we could bear, in fact we told ourselves that this was the end. Yet we believe now that we had this experience of coming to the end of our tether that we might learn to trust, not in ourselves, but in God who can raise the dead” (2 Corinthians 1:8-9 PH). When the pursuit of your dream deteriorates from difficult to impossible; when the situation looks hopeless, congratulations! You’re in good company.
