Hello, Friends How is great faith obtained? When Christians read the word "faith" in the Bible its meaning is often complicated with years of religious but unbiblical thought. The word "trust" might be considered a useful synonym for "faith". Trust of any kind is strengthened with time and experience. God in His mercy provides for us the experiences necessary to strengthen our trust in Him over time. It is these experiences with "lions" and "bears" that prepare us to knock down giants in our lives and display great faith or trust in God. Shalom, The LCMF Staff
