Lyrics Devotion - Beautiful Eulogy feat. Art Azurdia
What
is
authentic
faith?
The
cultivation
of
an
optimistic
outlook
on
Life
with
a
kind
of
spirituality
attached
to
it?
A
holy
hoping
for
the
best?
Is
this
how
you
think
of
faith?
Authentic
faith
is
the
confident
assurance
in
events
not
yet
seen
Faith
is
not
a
call
to
believe
in
Things
when
common
sense
tells
you
not
to
Faith
is
not
a
mindless
stab
in
the
dark
It
is
not
a
crossing
of
the
fingers
and
hoping
for
the
best
It
is
not
a
leap
into
apparent
nothingness
It′s
a
word
that
speaks
of
reasoned,
Careful,
deliberate,
intentional
thought
Thought
upon
what?
God
and
his
promises
If
you
are
absolutely
gripped
by
the
coming
realities
that
have
been
Promised
to
you
by
God,
Then
how
you
live
your
life
in
the
present
will
be
Radically
different
than
if
you
did
not
possess
that
certainty
This
is
what
faith
is,
my
friends!
Positive
certainty
expressed
in
action
Authentic
faith
is
not
merely
believing
in
God.
It
is
believing
God
Taking
God
at
his
word,
Living
in
obedience
to
his
revelation
whatever
the
cost
because
you
Know
down
deep
in
your
bones
that
God
will
Always
do
what
he
says,
that
his
speaking
is
his
doing
It
is
an
abiding
assurance
in
God
in
his
promises
That
animates
you
to
persevere
in
your
obedience
to
Him
Do
you
wish
to
be
a
more
consistently
obedient,
Steadily
persevering
Christian?
A
stronger
Christian?
A
more
courageous
and
outspoken
Christian?
Then
you
need
to
strengthen
your
faith!
Your
faith
instinctively
strengthens
in
direct
Proportion
to
the
expansion
of
the
object
of
your
faith
You
expand
your
understanding
of
the
object
of
Your
faith
and
faith
itself
will
obediently
follow
The
object
of
your
faith---if
indeed
you
are
a
Christian---is
Jesus
Christ
and
all
of
his
promises
Is
your
faith
weak?
It
is
owing
to
the
fact
you
don't
Know
the
object
of
your
faith
well
enough
But
when
Jesus
Christ
becomes
progressively
bigger,
or
better
yet,
Your
understanding
of
who
he
is
progressively
conforms
To
reality,
your
faith
will
become
increasingly
stronger
But
how
does
that
happen?
By
immersing
yourself
in
the
Faith-arousing
Word
of
God.
Read
of
Jesus
Christ
The
same
powerful
Word
that
long
ago
brought
the
universe
to
life
is
The
same
Word
that
can
bring
you
to
life
and
furnish
You
with
a
faith
that
is
truly
and
authentically
Christian
