*Update on Tuesday, Feb 21* I will be judging this contest with The M0of sometime Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon... I have life flight training Sat. morning which keeps me from doing it then. Just wanted you all to know. I WILL read and comment on each entry. Bob and I will decide this contest together. Thanks to one and all for their entries. There are already 11 entries and only 9 more will be accepted! ~Melissa
This contest will automatically close when I receive 20 entries meaning it could close early! SO.... get your entries in here!
What is Faith from the Bible's view point?
You can write about someone who showed great faith and how that faith was used.
You can simply show what Faith is.
It has to be in poetic form and stay on the topic of faith. I love rhyming and metered poetry just to let you know BUT you can write in any form!
Provide the scriptures that you have used
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
SO... if someone says demons believe in God by faith... is that true? They were in Heaven WITH God and Jesus having already SEEN Them both... so was this faith on their part?
That's the kind of stuff I'm looking for! Something unique and out of the ordinary!
NO CUSSING
NO EROTICA
NO BASHING the bible or Christians

Ah, poo! I wish you would've opened it up to prewrites- I've already done a few on this topic!
I'm not sure I can think up another one that quickly, either...
Hmm- we'll see!
By the way- I wouldn't say demons had faith... since the Bible does say "the evidence of things NOT seen." The phrase "seeing is believing" doesn't apply with faith.
Good idea for a contest, though! -
this looks like a really cool contest, maybe i'll enter......

congratulations to the winners!!! thank you for a wonderful contest

Thank you very much!
I tell you what- I enjoyed doing research for this poem... I learned from it! Isn't that a great benefit? Praise the Lord!
Congrats to the other winners, as well! -
I appreciate the comment... one of the reason's I chose your poem was because you showed where Faith leads us... that it is a LIFESTYLE... sometimes it's hard... like a race... but it's that Faith in God that tells us to keep running and never give up!
Thanks so much! God bless you! ~Melissa -
Molassis, Thaks ever so much for honorning my poem from among so many excellent entries. Thanks also for hosting the contest, it was the inspiration behind the poem.
