Brave Faith of the Christian Missionaries

The “refrain” portion of this poem conveys precisely the life of the Christian worker in the mission field: “Brave faith I must have—brave I must be to Jesus.” I wrote somewhere about the conversion of the Mouk tribe in New Guinea.

God Giving Hope of the Apostle Paul?

A God giving hope is what we need most in this life. But do we have Him in our heart, the God who is there when everything seems to fall apart? Some believe that hope and despair share the same destination. It is not true with regards to the kind of hope that the Holy Bible is teaching.

real trust

[T]rue faith produces real trust or dependence upon something or someone. In this piece, let us discuss our real trust upon Christ and our systems that form part of our daily life. What is the difference between faith and trust? Well, trust or confidence is the act of faith. You may have faith in your father’s swimming ability, for example, but you’ll never trust your life to him in the sea without a life jacket.
