About

Welcome to my blog, my name is Felix Brown , a husband, father of two children, a teacher, and a christian.

Unsophisticated Faith blog is as the name implies; unsophisticated.The blog came about from the need to move away from "sophisticated and sometimes loaded sermons and explanations " to simple and straight forward words of faith. Back in 2008 I started a faith journal in a bid to remember and reflect about my journey with the Lord. It was to show my growth in Christ in becoming a mature Christian and to act as a beacon of light to highlight any recurring or seasonal trends in my life. This helped greatly that I was able to discover some negative cycles that had to be placed at the feet of the cross. It is on reflection that I realized that we can complicate the Lord's words so much that it becomes either a burden to decipher or an unreachable task for others.

This is when the idea was revealed to share what I learned in a straight forward manner without all the sophistication. I pray to God that this blog will help others in their journey of faith. I believe once we share and support one another by faith no matter what part of the world we live, we can fulfill the Christian duty as outlined in Galatians 6:2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Peace and Love to all visitors of the unsophisticated faith.

Are you afraid of the responsibility of the coming of the last days?

In thinking of the last days, it is a nerve racking thought. To be true to oneself, no matter how much your faith appears to be or is, the fact is that human nature is afraid of the unknown. To make matters worse there are repeated and constant forecast of doom and gloom. As Christians, there is a great responsibility placed on our shoulders. As the world descends into darkness( increase in evil, crime, rapes, road carnage ,fighting, hunger, taxes, immoral living and the list goes on) our light has to shine and not to be place on a shelf, but for everyone to see. Everyone will be looking at us Christians. They will be hard on us for they will be looking for answers. They will be looking to see how the God that we profess and believe in is actually working in our lives. They will want to see if God is real and how can they be save as well. Many will be doubters, mockers and critics. Therefore it is by our living they can see and witness that despite all the hardsh...

" Father,why have you forsaken me?"

For a long time now I have been faced with the word SIN. It came up again recently when I was reading the book of Jeremiah.It is a scary book but also one of hope.I felt the holy spirit guiding me to read chapter 32 for I were able to make a connection with the sin of the people in that time and the reason behind Jesus pained words on the cross. To start,I decided to find out the definition of sin.Here goes my explanation as it came to me: Sin according to the WebBibleEncyclopedia is the word used to "denote the willful breaking of God's law." Another source gotquestions.org described sin as transgression of the law of God and rebellion against God. We sometimes do not understand the word SIN in all its entirety.What I do know is that it is something very serious and terrible for Jesus to have died on the cross to absorb the punishment. According to the bible all SINs are and must be punished because of who Yahweh God is; PERFECTLY (a...

Should we be wearing Crosses or Crucifixes as part of our Christian worship?

Last week on Facebook, I came across a post by a relative of mines stating that he hates to see the cross or any crucifix. The reason being it was a constant reminder that they have kill his parent, his brother Jesus. He asked, how would you feel to see your parent up on a cross everyday? Honestly, I think it is a good question. I personally do not want to see my parents or any member of my family hanging from a cross everyday. I think others may agree ... Right! It will be just terrible and I could just imagine the pain, anguish and emotions that will follow. But on reflection, I would ask how did they end up there? What was the reason? What was the cause? What was their journey ? The answer surely will have an impact on my behavior and attitude afterwards. I don't really like going to funerals, but when I do the sermons are so spot on. What I observe sometimes at funerals are people wearing jerseys with the deceased face on them, some may wear their uniforms or some may have...
