Blow the trump and ring the bell;
Dress it up and make it sell;
Fill it with the rich and well;
And count the heads.
We’re doing well!
But where’s the faith?
Read the creed and get it right;
Hold it fast with all your might;
Close the door and bolt it tight;
We’ve no need for further light!

God’s Faithfulness:
He never falls asleep on watch. I served in the US Army during Vietnam. I have to admit that even in the midst of a war zone, when it was my turn to stand guard duty there were times when my eyes were so heavy I was tempted to take a quick nap. God is not like

What Is Faith?
FAITH is dead to doubts—
dumb to discouragements,
blind to impossibilities,
knows nothing but success.
FAITH lifts its hand up through
the threatening clouds,
lays hold of Him who has

O For a Faith
O for a faith that will not shrink,
‘Tho pressed by every foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe!
That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But, in the hour of grief or pain,
Will lean upon its God;
A faith that shines more bright and

Faith is part of everyday living.
e.g. When you are ill,
you go to a doctor whose name you can’t pronounce.
He gives you a prescription you cannot read.
