Rivermont Presbyterian Church P. Ribeiro 1 Nov. 23, 97 Book 3 - Christian Behavior Hebrews 11 Summary of Chapters: 11 - Faith 12 - Faith Mere Christianity C.S. Lewis Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.

Rivermont Presbyterian Church P. Ribeiro 2 Nov. 23, 97 Faith Is faith a moral virtue or a statement to be accepted as good or bad? At what point of the Christian life does faith come into the picture? What is the problem with faith and emotion? Romans 7:14-20, Genesis 4:7 Why is faith a necessary virtue? 1st: Recognize the fact that your moods change. 2nd: Remind yourself daily of what you believe. How? “It is not reason that is taking away my faith, but my imagination and my emotions.”

Rivermont Presbyterian Church P. Ribeiro 3 Nov. 23, 97 Faith practice... A man who gives into temptation in five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later... The main thing we learn from a serious attempt to practice Christian virtues is that we fail... Discover: Can we bargain with God? Who gives you the power to do so? “When a man has made these two discoveries God can really get to work. It is after this that real life begins. The man is awake now.” ??????????? “ No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good.” Ephesians 4:14

Rivermont Presbyterian Church P. Ribeiro 4 Nov. 23, 97 Faith At The Crossroads learn your road signs: Only to be fully understood at the crossings. What does God care about? What should be our first discovery and acknowledgment? What is the difference between saying and really meaning it? What should our action be after our discovery? To act or have faith: what should be the matter? Philippians 2:12-16 Are we a clean mirror that reflects His goodness to the world? “To trust Him means TRYING to do all He says, in a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already.” Hebrews 12:1-3

Rivermont Presbyterian Church P. Ribeiro 6 Nov. 23, 97 Questions for Discussions 11. Faith Lewis admits to being puzzled by the concept of simple belief being a virtue. How did he resolve this puzzlement? Lewis defines Faith as... How does one train the habit of Faith? Before discussing the second level of Faith, Lewis returns to cultivating humility and suggests that one try to live the Christian life for a while. One will then discover by failure that Faith An understanding of the second level of faith comes only after a man has... What is a way of thinking which identifies a man who is not in a right relationship with God? Lewis states that a man who watches himself to see when he will fall asleep is very likely to remain awake. How does this relate to growing in faith? In handing ourselves over to Christ, we desire to obey him. But we must obey in a new way of obedience. What is this new way? What are the two parodies of truth which Christians have been accused of believing?
