IN THE BEGINNING:
Childlike Faith was founded by my father, Mark S. Vendetti, Sr., who was inspired by God to begin writing songs for the true meaning of the Lord's grace, power and everlasting love.
GOD'S PURPOSE FOR US:
I truly believe that this band's purpose is to be used as a vessel to reach what is lost and to encourage God's family.
THE MEANING OF THE BAND'S NAME:
When you view a child's faith in God it appears to be sweet and fragile, but that's only the overflow of God's grace. The truth is that a child's faith in God is stronger than we can ever imagine. There's no doubt or flaw in a child's faith. When I am stressed, I take myself back to the day's of a child and God always meets me there. When I am there I have comfort, peace, guidance, inspiration and love.
WHEN YOU ADDED US:
When you add us you help support this ministry in it's battle of spiritual warfare. Please pray for us, for it is your prayers that will give us strength.
Thank you all.
God bless each and everyone of you.

That is why we live by believing and not by seeing.
2 Corinthians 5:7 NLT
You honor Jesus when you act in faith on His Word.
Fertile lives
Most of us try to get through life on human wisdom. Some of us succeed. Others of us make so many mistakes that we die with innumerable regrets. If only we could get guidance from above, we would get this "life" stuff right. If only we could hear the voice of the One who knows. If only.
The truth is that we can. The Voice has spoken. His words are available to us. But there's a catch. We have to be willing to obey it. Otherwise, we won't have what Jesus calls "ears to hear." Those who obey what they already know of God have their ears opened to more; and those who have ears open are readily obedient.
The root of the problem is that most of us have trouble, however minor it may be, with obedience. We lose our "ears to hear," and as a result, we fall back on human wisdom. Our lives never match those of the biblical heroes. Why? Human wisdom would not have pushed Abraham up a hill to sacrifice his son; it would not have led God's people to the edge of the Red Sea with an army in pursuit; it would not have marched around Jericho seven times and blasted a trumpet for the wall to fall; and, most strikingly, human wisdom would not have vilified the Son of God on a cross in order to save a wretched race.
Really, when it comes to it, would you prefer to live by the human logic that results from losing your ears to hear? Or would you prefer the cutting-edge, risky-but-real life of a true, radical believer? The answer isn't clear for everyone. But we've seen who lasts. Your Bible is full of their stories. They lived by faith, not by sight.
We hope all is well? Don’t be a stranger; we love to hear what’s going on with you, even if you just told us yesterday. Sorry for being so slow in responding to messages, we are doing our best to catch up. How would you finish this rhyme, “roses are red, violets are blue..................” Whoever has the best answer will get a free CD.
Much Love,

God will always show us the best path to attain heaven. But he will not interfere with our free will by forcing us to stay on the best path. If we make wrong moral choices then God has to show us new paths that will not be as straight or as easy. It is all up to us. Each moral choice is a crossroads, and if we take the wrong turn the way to heaven is harder to find. Not impossible to find, but perhaps longer and more difficult.
God always offers the best path possible for our salvation given the free will choices that we have made up to that point. This is an important condition. This allows our lives to make dramatic turns for the worse if we choose evil. It is then consistent to think that our lives may take dramatic turns for the better if we choose to avail ourselves of prayer.
It is what Jesus did Himself. He asked that His sufferings pass as He faced death. But, those were the circumstances of His life; His enemies wanted him dead because of His preaching. God did not strike those enemies dead; rather Jesus placed himself in His Father's hands and faced His terrible death.
God did not want Jesus crucified. What father would wish that upon his child? So, we can pray for what we believe we need and would be good for us. At the same time, we always place our needs and wishes in God's hands and ask for the grace to face life as we find it.
