But in our efforts not to be "calvanistic," we should not ignore the fact that God helps us in trusting in him.<BR/><BR/>I too think that the high percentage of those with faith as a gift at High Pointe may indicate much positive potential. It may mean that if we venture out upon a godly path, many people will follow, trusting that God will be us.James Noredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707292759635770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25422068.post-50067578168601422032008-06-17T11:53:00.000-07:002008-06-17T11:53:00.000-07:00I find it refreshing to see that 'faith' is at the...I find it refreshing to see that 'faith' is at the top of the list at High Pointe. In Truth, faith is not generated by ourselves. We all who are in Christ, have this faith. Some of us are more aware and cognizant of it's presence in our lives than others. I think as we mature in the faith we become more in tune to this.<BR/><BR/>This high number, 77%, shows me that we may have a group of people who are more in tune and aware of the presence of Faith (God Himself) in and around our lives than maybe the general christian population. Or, at least I hope so.... Ultimately, this can only conclude that GOOD things will happen for all of us who love God, especially when we are aware and are looking.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking now and...I can see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
