"I Do Believe" (Part 1) - "I Do Believe" (Mobile)

- Speaker: Reverend Frank Radcliff, Jr.

The day that I asked Jesus Christ into my life, I started growing. I learned early that it was important to have a strong foundation. There is an oak tree in our front yard. They guess that it is 280 to 300 years old. It is massive and able to support great weight because of its extensive root system. This system covers a large part of our front yard and feeds this mighty oak, helping it to grow. We grow like this. Our root system is our foundation. It is where the nourishment comes from that causes us to grow. It is what holds us up and helps get us through the storms of life. Our problem: sometimes we get away from what was feeding us. When we started - we were those strong, I will never quit, change the world Christians. We drift, don’t eat right, go through a drought, and start asking why I don’t feel it anymore. Where do we turn? “Let me get one of those self-help courses.” “I need to hear something that motivates me.” The issue is really my attitude. I have to go back to His Word, find the attitudes that He said should prevail in my life, and cultivate those. The external will not fix me. I have to have a passion about the attitudes found in His Word. My life can change and will change but from the inside out. “Healing the Broken” is not a matter of a Band-Aid. It is going to the heart of the matter and finding what really changes me.
