Faith Kenneth Edward Barnes

Is faith in God dying? Sad to say it is and will continue to do so. Why is this happening? I will address that question and more. I will give the answers and tell you what the Bible says about how important it is. Faith-what does it mean? How do we increase our faith? Do we need faith? How can faith help us cope with everyday problems, heartbreaks and tragedies in our lives? This is why I wrote this book. So, who needs faith? We all do if we are to please God and make it into his kingdom. Faith is mentioned only two times in the Old Testament in the King James Version of the Bible, but 245 times in the New Testament. In Deuteronomy 32:24, God is speaking about the faithless generation of the twelve tribes of Israel. He said because of their lack of faith he will hide his face from them. In Habakkuk 2:4, he says, "The righteous shall live by faith." The Bible also says in Hebrews 11:6, "Without faith it is impossible to please God!" That passage goes on to say that one must believe God is God and that he is a rewarder to those that seek him. Therefore, we must have faith before anything else.
