We had another good discussion last evening at our weekly Prayer & Bible Study meeting.
Here are some of the barriers to faith that we discussed:
1 - Guilt - Genesis 3:9.
2 - Doubt - John 20:24 and James 1:6.
3 - Pride - Does anybody know an appropriate reference for this one?
4 - Greed (Love of Money) - I Ti. 6:10.
5 - Knowledge - I Ti. 6:20,21.
6 - Fear - James 5:16-18 and John 7:13.
7 - Spiritualism - I Ti. 4:1.
8 - Idol Babellings (False Doctrine) - II Ti. 1:7.
9 - Judgmental - Matthew 7:1-5.
10 - Worry - Can anybody find an appropriate reference or two for this one?
That about summarizes what we discussed.
Next Wednesday we will be discussing how to overcome the barriers to faith.
