Sunday Morning Faith

A contrast between well-worn sayings heard in church culture and enduring truth.

By Steve Wilkins

God helps those who help themselves
Sunday The family that prays together stays together
Sunday Cleanliness is next to godliness
Sunday God won't give you more than you can handle
Sunday Just follow your heart
Sunday Everything happens for a reason
Sunday Let go and let God
Sunday When God closes a door, He opens a window
Sunday

I don't want a Sunday morning faith

I want faith to face the lions
Faith to take a stand
Faith to walk on water
To take possession of the land
I want faith to face down giants
Turn the tide toward victory
Whatever may come
With my eyes to the Son
I want the faith that overcomes

God helps the helpless
Everyday Sometimes families fall, but pray anyway
Everyday Godliness is ours by faith
Everyday In my weakness His strength is revealed
Everyday The heart is deceitful; follow Truth
Everyday Some things just happen
Everyday Work out salvation
Everyday God can be found in the darkness
Everyday

I don't want a Sunday morning faith

I want faith to face the lions
Faith to take a stand
Faith to walk on water
To take possession of the land
I want faith to face down giants
Turn the tide toward victory
Whatever may come
With my eyes to the Son
I want the faith that overcomes
