WELCOME TO BEYOND BELIEVING - A Journey Beyond Faith

 

Beyond Believing by faith in the Son of God,

is knowing that you have eternal life!

​

When the Mayflower Pilgrims sailed across the Atlantic in 1620, it was a journey of faith. Not just any faith, but biblical faith. They trusted God, believed in Christ, and lived by the Word of God. In their search for religious liberty, they settled a new continent and laid a firm foundation with Christ as their cornerstone. In Hebrews 12:2, it says, "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith." It's now been 400 years since their voyage. What faith, if any, still remains from these early pioneers?

 

Has what they and so many others believed in times past, instead, been abandoned to the religion of atheistic naturalism? Has the Lord God they faithfully trusted been wholeheartedly replaced by faith in modern science? Has the theory of evolution and the natural laws and forces of the universe completely discarded and excluded the supernatural, miraculous, or spiritual explanation? Was God, after all, only the figment of man's unenlightened superstitious imagination? If not, then why have so many lost faith and completely left Him out of their lives? It's time to take a new journey to search for the truth of what was once so evident to our forefathers. A journey to reclaim the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of what is unseen. A journey that will lead to rediscovering the truth that God, in fact, is not dead. And with Him - absolutely nothing is impossible!

​

If​ I were to ask you to tell me just one supernatural or miraculous event from the Bible that you find to be the most unbelievable, what would it be? Would it be the creation of the heavens and the earth in six 24-hour days? Maybe it's God forming Adam from the dust of the ground and breathing into his nostrils the breath of life or Eve fashioned from Adam's rib? Then there's the whole account of deception by that crafty serpent, Satan, and the Fall of man into sin when Adam and Eve didn't trust God's Word and disobeyed His command not to eat the forbidden fruit. Maybe you'd choose Joshua and the battle of Jericho, David versus Goliath, or Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace. Then, of course, we can't forget God parting the Red Sea, Noah's Ark, Jonah swallowed by a big fish, Daniel in the lions' den, or when fire of the Lord fell for Elijah on Mount Carmel proving the Lord, that He is God! Short of having faith, are any or all of these events, too unbelievable to believe?

​

Would you think me foolish or unenlightened if I told you that I not only believe that every single event I just listed above is not only true, but that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt they are all accurate historical events? Is my biblical faith, like the Pilgrims' faith, only foolishness? This also includes believing, of course, in the virgin birth, crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus! Why do I believe this? Why do I believe any of this? What has me so convinced? How can I be so sure and know these events are all true? It would be easy for me to say that I believe by faith that the Bible is true, but that's not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying that I know, Beyond Believing, that the scriptures are the inspired, infallible, inerrant, Word of God. 

 

I know this to be true because God Himself intervened in my life with a most unusual and miraculous near-death experience. I went Beyond Believing by faith and was an eyewitness to truth. If you follow along with me on this journey beyond faith, you'll witness a miracle story. It's not a fictional story. It's not a fairy-tale story. It's not even an everyday type of 'story.' It is, in fact, a true account of miraculous events unlike anything you've ever heard. It will not only authenticate the scriptures in a most unusual manner of revelation, but I pray it will once again turn the world upside-down with a renewed heart for its gospel message. So, get ready for some genuinely good news as retold in a brand-new way. Get ready to believe that nothing is impossible with God! That all things are possible to him who believes.

 

It is my hope and prayer that Beyond Believing: A Journey Beyond Faith will convince you, beyond a reasonable doubt, to believe and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ who said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). May it also lead you to believe in a future and a hope that only He can provide. For as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived—the things God has prepared for those who love Him" (1 Cor. 2:9).
