“The civil authority, or that part of it which remained faithful to their trust and true to the ends of the covenant, did, in answer to their consciences, turn out a tyrant, in a way which the Christians in aftertimes will mention with honor, and all tyrants in the world look at with fear.” WorldWayLooksEndsChristianTurnsAnswersHonorAuthorityConscienceLoyaltyFaithfulTyrantsCovenant Author:Thomas Carlyle
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.” IfsTryingDoePhilosophyUseCoursesAnswersPrinciplesCasesExpressionInvolvedConceptsConcernUltimateRelationPhilosophicalStructureTheologySymbolsFaithfulDescriptionDetached Book:Dynamics of Faith Source: Dynamics of Faith
“Prayer is an act of faith. Just by praying to God, you are declaring our trust in someone other than yourself. Your faith is increased as you pray and watch how God answers your prayers. God says in Jeremiah 33:3, Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know. God is awesome in power and there is never a time when He is not beside you. He is faithful and holy.” KnowsFaithReligiousPrayerAnswersWatchesPrayingHolyFaithfulOur PrayersKnowing GodPraying To GodDeclaringBeside YouJeremiah Author:Charles Stanley
“Whoever desires to remain faithful to Jesus must communicate faith as he did, not by compelling assent but by presenting it as a true answer to basic thirst. Rather than looking back nostalgically on a time when Christians wielded more power, I suggest another approach: that we regard ourselves as subversives operating within the broader culture.” ChristianDesireCultureJesusAnswersApproachRegardCommunicateFaithfulCompellingLooking BackThirstPresenting Author:Philip Yancey
