			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was looking back through an old journal (from March, so not really that old) and found an interesting entry that I thought I would share. I had just read Luke 18:1-8 and wrote about faith. Here were my thoughts from that passage that day.<span id="more-300"></span></p>
<p>Jesus told a parable regarding how we should always pray and not lose heart. He ended by asking if the Son of Man would find faith on earth when He returned.</p>
<p>This makes me wonder: what does faith really look like? Obviously we must trust and believe in and on Jesus Christ, but this can&#8217;t be a statement only; it must be lived. How do we live out our faith each day? Do we go out in power believing and trusting the Lord&#8217;s will be done? Or do we go out hoping maybe today we will finally live up to our own expectations of what a &#8220;Christian&#8221; should be?</p>
<p>Unless we exercise the former, I don&#8217;t think we live in faith. We must move past our foolish notions of a morality, rules-based Christianity and walk humbly in the power and grace of the Holy Spirit, whom we have from God our Father (1 Corinthians 6:19). This is faith. This is that to which we must preserve to the end.</p>
