Do You Have a Possessing Faith?

The Bible clearly indicates that it is possible for people to make a profession of faith and unite themselves to a congregation while not actually having a possessing of faith they profess. Christ spoke of the facility by which people can honor Him with their lips while their hearts are far removed from Him (Mark 7:6). He warned in the Sermon on the Mount that on the last day people will say, "Lord, Lord" whom He will dismiss from His presence with the dreadful words, "I never knew you; depart from Me" (Matt. 7:23). In like manner James expounded the problem of those who declare they have faith but whose faith is moribund, yielding no fruit and displaying no works consistent with genuine saving faith (James 2:20).

Music Monday: Top 10 Albums of the Year and my Best of 2014 Playlist

Once again, another year of great music both on the Christian side and non-Christian side. I have to admit I listened to a lot of great worship albums this year while listening to ones from the main stream music industry. This year was a little tough to put together what I thought were the best albums of the year especially number one and two because they were both equally good. So here we go, my top 10 albums of 2014:

10. Hopefully Broken by Zimmerman

9. Attack by Disciple

8. Rise by Trip Lee

7. Below Paradise by Tedashii

6. Anomaly by Lecrae

5. After All These Years by Andrew Peterson

4. 30: Three Decades of Songs for the Church by Sovereign Grace Music

3. Guardians of the Galaxy Deluxe Soundtrack

2. Becoming Who We Are by Kings Kaleidoscope
