Resurrected Faith: Contending to Know Jesus the Cornerstone

When something is dead within you, remove it. Otherwise, you will die. A pandemic of dead faith threatens Christians today because, in one way or another, the various doctrines held by our churches were added to or subtracted from the faith first given by Jesus. Resurrected Faith will encourage you to know Jesus and follow His example by "faithing." An intersection of faith, as a noun and a verb, "faithing" will bring what you believe to life, as the power of the Holy Spirit daily transforms your thoughts, words, and actions. In Resurrected Faith, you will discover the symptoms of dead faith and why we must contend for the faith. Our struggle is to: know Jesus and not a creed recognize the enemy within comprehend our identity in Christ defend the faith against masquerading wolves stand ready for judgment day recognize false teaching designed to lead us astray maintain the unity of the faith and contend without being contentious Your faith will come alive through an intimate knowledge of Jesus. The Holy Spirit will bring to life the true identity of Jesus to define our doctrines, rather than lifeless church creeds to portray an inaccurate caricature of His identity. Now is the time for Resurrected Faith. Doug Clay, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, writes, "Resurrected Faith delivers a passion for the faith." Missionary Steve Walent observes, "Resurrected Faith ignites the life of Christ in us, which is the game-changer our world needs." Pastor Dave Gross said when reading Resurrected Faith, "I felt alive again like I had gone back a little closer to the day when Jesus first saved me."
