Defender of The Faith or Defender of None

Defender of The Faith or Defender of None

King Charles recently stated that he is no longer just the defender of the Christian faith but the defender of all faiths. Such a statement is doublespeak. I totally agree with defending the people of every faith if they're not trying to dominate or destroy your civilization and culture: that's a Godly thing to do. I'm also happy to live next door to and mix with people who are not at all like me. However, if you claim that all faiths are equally valid and aim to defend all faiths you are unavoidably denying all faiths, because all real faiths have specific beliefs

Speaking About Tongues

Speaking About Tongues

Not Enough Faith to be Healed?

Not Enough Faith to be Healed?

When we pray for healing does God's apparent inaction stem from our failure to work up enough faith? Would we all be fit and healthy if only we had plenty of it? Does the faith which is as small as a mustard seed really need to be as big as a mountain? I don't claim to be an expert in this field, and neither am I a man greatly empowered by the Holy Spirit as some people see power. However, I do have some answers from Scripture-the Bible-for those who are genuinely seeking.
