After preaching and teaching faith for over twenty years, a painful realization set in. I had lots of head-knowledge faith but precious little real faith. Either God was making a fool out of me or there were some simple facts about faith I never learned as a young Christian. I set out with a new passion to “re-learn” faith. Taking a totally unique approach to Bible study, I abandoned my life-long practice of reading Scripture to validate my preconceived theological notions and began to read the Bible just to see what it said. The result was liberating. I realized, for the first time, we don't need more faith-we need a new focal point. When we make Christ the beginning, the center and the end of everything in our lives, self will take its rightful place on the cross and faith will become instinctive. Faith is not about you or me-it's about Him.
