Lord, I can change the way I spend and, to some degree, the way I earn. But, the deeper change is more challenging. Daily bread becomes an obsession. It becomes something to fret over. It quickly is all consuming. This is an issue of presence; its presence in my thoughts and fears can be cancerous. The worries of daily bread start to eat me alive.

She Sold Her Possessions and Moved; that’s Faith!

Dr. Parrott August 27, 2013 No Comments 10th anniversary a human example of faith brother of Les Parrott build a life together Christian author Dr Parrott and Shirley Parrott son death Dr. Parrott faith grace of God Olivet Nazarene our miracle story Richard and Shirley Parrott Richard L Parrott richard leslie parrott richard parrott Self-understanding Shirley Parrott son of A.L.

We use the word faith is two very different ways. First, there is “the Faith,” meaning accepting the doctrines and beliefs of the church. There are a few places in the Bible where faith is used in this way, but not many. Second, there is “faith that trusts,” meaning faith that results in action, putting your trust in God. This is the meaning of faith in most of the Bible.

Let me give you a human example of faith as a verb: May 2012, my wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary.* It was more than a decade ago, I asked Shirley to marry me. I shared my heart with her, “you are the one I love, and I want us to build a life together.”
