Audacious Faith

audacious - a : intrepidly daring : adventurous

When I think of audacious faith, I think of Bishop Alfred D. Deeds Jr.  Bishop Deeds was my pastor for twelve years.  He was, and still is, a man of God with more and stronger faith than anyone I know!  This is a man that trusted God and believed in His provision so much that he built a beautiful church that seats well over 400 without ever taking up a special offering, making any peanut brittle, hosting any spaghetti dinners, or doing any fund raising of any kind!  He believed God wanted it built, and believed that God would provide the financing for it to be built!  And God did it!  Just like Bishop Deeds believed that God would do!  And it didn't take very long either!
