Faith and Hope

"…Faith looks backward—hope looks onward and upward. Faith is concerned with the Person who promises—hope with the One and the things promised. Faith accepts—hope expects. Faith appropriates—hope anticipates. Faith believes and takes—hope desires and waits. Faith comes by hearing—hope comes by experience. Faith the root—hope is the fruit." -- G.H. Knight

Fear or Faith?

"Fear imprisons, faith liberates; fear paralyzes, faith empowers; fear disheartens, faith encourages; fear sickens, faith heals; fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable—and, most of all, fear puts hopelessness at the heart of life, while faith rejoices in its God." - Harry Emerson Fosdick

Fear imprisons, faith liberates ...

Fear imprisons, faith liberates; fear paralyzes, faith empowers; fear disheartens, faith encourages; fear sickens, faith heals; fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable—and, most of all, fear puts hopelessness at the heart of life, while faith rejoices in its God.

-- Harry Emerson Fosdick

How much faith does it take?

"Doubters invert the metaphor and insist that they need faith as big as a mountain in order to move a mustard seed." - Webb B. Garrison
