Welcome the Lessons
A Book About Faith And LoveWith news about Iraq and London and even our own neighborhood disasters, we need something to encourage us to keep going .....
When we read of the great men of old, the mighty and the
strong, the courageous, the faithful, those who slew thousands
and ten thousands ... perhaps we also think of phrases like,
"faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive,
able to leap tall buildings with a single bound."
In admiring their feats, we tend to think of these men as super
human, almost supernatural, and nearly impossible to follow -
while missing their weakness and how God brought them to places
of such courage and faith.
If you've ever found yourself in a series of lessons where you
hang on to God because there's nothing else to hang on to, and
He gives you sweet promises like this, "When thou passest
through the waters, I will be with thee: and through the rivers,
they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the
fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle

and welcome the lessons.

heart, "believe" Him with your whole life, and "understand" with
your whole being that He is all there is, all there ever really

there'll be no doubt but what God dearly loves you, He is for
you, He'll always be there for you, His promises are true, you
can count on Him for anything, things will always turn out for
your good, and He will always do the most loving thing possible
toward you.
Only when we go through the fires and floods can we begin to
walk as the great men of old. For, it's when we are weak that we
learn of His strength.
