GOOD WORD from the jtfibk
According to your faith be it unto you
These words from Jesus as he gave sight to two blind men
are worthy of consideration by every Christian The two rnj»,
were healed, not merely because they asked for the returtfv"
their sight, but because they believed that Jesus was Christ, the
Redeemer because they were men of faith
In these modern times are we who profess to be Christians
men and women of faith’ Do we profess our faith in the conduct
of everyday living’ Or, is faith a once-a-week happening’
We are not men and women of faith if we reserve time on
Sundays to visit church and spend an hour or so praying and
asking for the things we want and need
Rather, we profess our faith by the manner in which we raise
our children, conduct our business affairs, react to the problems
and the needs of our fellow man
We profess faith when we observe the ten commandments
We profess faith when we are thankful for our blessings, and
when we ask for whatever help we need in a particular problem
or situation
In summary, we are men and women of faith only when our
faith is a constant part of living
