What does the Bible say about confidence?

What does the Bible say about confidence?: "nswer: Confidence is a popular subject today. We are told to think confidently, to be self-assured, to live brashly, boldly, and brazenly. In a myriad of ways, the theme of modern society is to be self-confident. Popular religious leaders make confidence the centerpiece of their teaching. Does the Bible agree with this "positive thinking" mantra? If the Bible teaches us to be confident, what should we be confident about? If not, why not?"

A potential convert. | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence

A potential convert. | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "Mark 10:17. Here is a potential convert. He runs to Jesus (he is earnest), he kneels down (he is humble), he asks how he can inherit eternal life (what more could we want in a convert?). But notice what Jesus didn’t do. He didn’t speak of the love of God or a wonderful plan, or lead him in a “sinner’s prayer.”"

On The Box: Words of Comfort: "Imagine there’s no Heaven"

On The Box: Words of Comfort: "Imagine there’s no Heaven": "During a radio debate I once had with an atheist, my opponent said that the Beatles were all atheists, and that John Lennon's song "Imagine" was “The Atheist's Anthem.” I explained that while Paul McCartney had said that they were atheists (back in 1964), as they matured in their thinking each one became very spiritual."

On The Box: Today’s Show Notes: Fri, 9/28: "Biblical faith does not call people to crucify their intellect or take irrational leaps of faith into the darkness with the hope that Christ will catch us. Rather we are called to leap out of the darkness and into the light…True faith involves trusting in the evidence that God has amply provided in and through His Word.” R. C. Sproul"

“Since we are not saved by works, why can’t I maintain a relationship with God without witnessing?” | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence

“Since we are not saved by works, why can’t I maintain a relationship with God without witnessing?” | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "This is an honest question. Here is the problem. We know that we are saved because the fruit of God’s Spirit will begin manifesting through us. God is love; therefore, we should be filled with love if we have been truly saved (see Rom. 5:5). Think of this scenario. You are in Africa."

On The Box: Words of Comfort: A Visit to the Mall

On The Box: Words of Comfort: A Visit to the Mall: "I was visiting a mall with my relatives, and stood at a checkout. In front of me was a mother and son. She was kindly buying a music CD for her boy. He was about 15 years old—the age where peer pressure, music, and fashion are strongly influential in his search for identity. It was evident that he was finding it, with his effeminate-look, weird hairstyle and his earrings. He was typical of millions."

On The Box: Today’s Show Notes: Thursday 27th September, 2012.: "“The true believer is the one who lays everything down. That’s as simple as it can get. The one who is counterfeit holds on to the world, his habits, his career. He wants to hold it. And that’s when Jesus says, “No, you can’t be my believer. Let go, let go.” Paris Reidhead"

Hanging… | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "If a man is hanging on for dear life to a chain, if it breaks in just one link he will still plummet to his death. Breaking even one law, one time, is enough to condemn us. See James 2:10 comment."

On The Box: Words of Comfort: Hot Dog for Dinner

On The Box: Words of Comfort: Hot Dog for Dinner: "I was moved as I watch a clip about a man in Florida who loved his dog. His name was Steve Gustafson (the man that is). His dog’s name was “Bounce.” But “Lunch” would have been a more appropriate name. While the 66 year-old was out walking with Bounce, he was pounced on by a seven foot hungry alligator and dragged into the water (the dog that is)."
