Trust Is Important.

 Trust is the bedrock of human relations. It is the glue that holds people together in social connections. It seems to be a quality that is in short supply today.

Trust is relying on someone to do what they said that they would do. Trust is a character issue. If you can be trusted you are trustworthy. If you cannot be trusted you are soon cast off as useless.

Trust is one of those things that if lost is very hard to regain. Failure to keep your word is not exactly lying. But it is close.

Trust is critical in marriage. When you say I do, you need to keep your word. It's not just about right or wrong. It is about being trustworthy as a husband or wife.

Trust is the basis of faith. We obey God because he is trustworthy. He will do what He said He will do.

Conference is based on trust. People come to our conference because they trust us to take good care of them. They trust us to have good preaching. They trust us to have a seat for them to sit in.

How many people backslide because they feel that God has not been trustworthy? How many people leave our church and go to another church because they judged us to be untrustworthy. 

Those who have stayed with us and stayed by the stuff do so because they trust us.

It's important to have right doctrine and solid teaching. But trust is just as important as good preaching.
