A Bold Faith; A Bold Mission
Here's some thoughts for you:
In 1881, no less than 669 of The Salvation Army's men, women and children were either knocked to the ground or brutally assaulted, because of their bold faith.
Mr. E. Denison, quite a few years back said this, 'What is the use of telling people to come to church when they know of no rational reason why they should; when, if they go, they find themselves among people using forms of words which have never been explained to them; ceremonies performed which to them are entirely without meaning; sermons preached which as often as not have no meaning, or when they have a meaning, intelligible only to those who have studied religion all their lives?'
Surely the job of a theologian is to communicate and teach the truths of God in a way that the average Joe Bloe understands!
C.T.Studd said this, 'Some wish to live within the sound of church or chapel bell. I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell.'
Win the World for Jesus.
And a big hello to my Mum and Dad who are reading from Michigan, USA.
