| | | God’s Focus, Faith Not Faults
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Heb 11:6 BSBDo you tend to focus more on the faults of yourself and others? I have, at times. Have you ever tried doing the opposite? It makes a huge difference, helping relationships while combatting dis-ease with peace. When we focus on our faults, we express ingratitude for what God has done and make ourselves and others miserable. When we focus on the faults of the unsaved, we forget God's love and kindness is what saved us when we were in their position. When we focus on the faults of ourselves and other believers, instead of our faith, we do just the opposite of God. "I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8 NASThe hall of faith in Hebrews 11 is full of men and women of great faith and great sin. Their sins, doubts, worries, and fears listed plainly in the Old Testament, but God only lists and applauds their faith in Hebrews. God is always faithful to His Word, focusing on our faith, not our sin. "I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. Isa 43:25 ESV
… in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.2 Cor 5:19 ESVThis New Year let's make our Father smile by focusing on our faith, what we get right, and our gratitude to Him for it all. When we meet others, let's love them as Christ loved us, focus on what they get right (no matter how small), encouraging their faith if they believe. For those we struggle with, let's start praying for their best right now, make a list of what they do right and focus on it until God's peace prevails. We will be thankful we did. So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification. Rom 14:19 BSBMany more New Covenant Bible Studies to start your New Year off right can be found HERE.
And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.” Luke 22:20

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online.
An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time.
"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"
"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”
"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
