Faith and faithing... #3
So this entire concept of faith actually being a verb in Greek just completely altered the way I think about my beliefs.We've always been taught to believe that if we believe in Jesus and the resurrection then we have a ticket to Heaven. Well in some ways yes, that's true, but it is also so much more than that. We spent almost an entire class period talking about how faith is actually meant to be a verb. It seemed hard at first to get a clear and full understanding of what it might mean to faith. Then after talking more about it in class we later found it to mean it's not about going through the motions, and it's not about just saying you believe or you have faith. It's about actually modeling your life after Christ, and living just as he did. I don't know about everyone else but to me, that's beautiful. I really liked Thursday's discussion, and I cannot wait for the next class to learn more. Peace out. :)

i like how your willing, and open minded enough not to change your core beliefs but to be kind of tweaked. i really like our class discussions also. somehow it just gives me confidence to express my thoughts and hear others. no pressure, no notes, just a group of people with a common interest. like i said, this class somehow seems to just empower me and boost my confidence. Be who you are and become what you want to be. if you wanna be amazing, well, be amazing. go out and start faithing. if were all modelled after God's image, stay who you are and you can never go wrong. oh yeah, peace out
