Our God Reign

40 million babies lost to Gods great orphanage, It's a modern day genocide and a modern day disgrace If this is a human right then why aren't we free? The only freedom we have is in a man nailed to a tree. 100 million faces, staring at the sky, Wondering if this HIV will ever pass us by. The devil stole the rain and hope trickles down the plug, But still my Chinese take away could pay for someone's drugs. Our God reigns, Our God reigns, Forever your kingdom reigns. The west has found a gun and it's loaded with 'unsure' Nip and tuck if you have the bucks in a race to find a cure. Psalm one hundred and thirty nine is the conscience to our selfish crime, God didn't screw up when he made you, He's a father who loves to parade you. Yes he reigns, yes you reign, yes you reign, For there is only one true God, But we've lost the reins on this world, Forgive us all, forgive us please, As we fight for this broken world on our knees.

Why is faith important for salvation?

In Luke 17:5 , "the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith." Why did they ask that? Because they understood that faith was a key element in their relationship with God. Abraham is called the father of faith, and he was forgiven (or justified) before God because he showed in his life that nothing was more precious to him than to have faith and trust in God. His faith was severely tried though before he received this title. Abraham fathered Isaac, after waiting for this son of promise for almost half a century. When Isaac became a teenager, God told Abraham, "Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering." What an incredible request from God! But Abraham
