WHAT IS
“CHRISTIAN FAITHBOOKING?”

Most of us have no idea how much spiritual power is locked in our memories, but when those stories are recorded and revisited, the result brings joy and peace.
Almost every book of the Bible alludes to the importance and power of memory. Today, capturing pictures and stories in Christian faithbook photo albums acts as a tool in helping us remember His miraculous work in our lives.
With faithbook photo albums, we have a tangible, simple method to review our stories about God. Our faithbooks will not only benefit us today, they also will be there for future generations to benefit from.
You may wonder, “why is it necessary to create albums in order to remember God’s work?”
Alan Wright, author of “The God Moment Principle,” makes this statement, “Even mature, well-meaning Christians have an incredible ability to forget the extraordinary moments of God. The memory dulls. The moment loses its luster. And soon, the life-changing power is gone – spiritual amnesia has set in.”
By creating faithbook photo albums, we will not forget the amazing feats God has performed in our lives.
BENEFITS OF CREATING CHRISTIAN FAITHBOOK PHOTO ALBUMS
· Increase our faith: Every time we look back and remember times when the Lord sustained us through a difficulty or provided for our needs, our faith in Him grows.
· Demonstrate obedience: Psalm 78.4 states: “We will tell the next generation the praise worthy deeds of the Lord, His power and the wonders He has done.”
By creating Christian faithbook photo albums for and with our children, we change their lives with the power of stories. And, we teach them to teach their children as directed in Deut. 4:9
Deut. 4:9 – “Do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and your children’s children.”
Enforcing your family values and God’s word in and through our albums, will give our children the help they need to stand firm and thrive in this pressure-filled world.
·Glorify God: A Christian faithbook photo album can take daily and special events and find the Lord’s fingerprints (His influence) in the activities. For example, we can take a picture of our child kneeling by her bed to pray. The photo and story is about her and the Lord. We can include our family prayers and photos of our family going to church to further illustrate our love for Him.
Increasing our faith and obeying and glorifying the Lord are just three benefits of capturing our faith in Christian faithbook photo albums. As you get into this project you also will see you can . . .
· develop a grateful attitude in your life
· encourage ourselves and others
· help us memorize God’s word
· teach and warn us
· reinforce our family values and beliefs.
These are just some of the benefits we can experience when we take the time to discover the spiritual power of our pictures and stories.
