Saw this today - what do you think? Biblical or not?
Feed Your Faith and Your Fears Will Starve To Death!
Well - this one is a little tricky. Do we feed our faith? Faith and fear are definitely connected.
Jesus in Mark 4:40 makes the following statement:
And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
Seems to me the answer is in Romans 10:17 and I Corinthians 12:9 (speaking of gifts of the Spirit)
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
and this seals the deal for me:
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18
From this I get that faith is a gift and so is love. Because I can only love Jesus because He first loved me! So it is His gift of both His love and His faith that will handle my fears.
Therefore.... <drumroll> NOPE - Fails the Bible Filter!
