Living In Heroic Faith

“Faith is not a pathetic sentiment, but robust vigorous confidence built on the fact that God is holy love.

-Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest, May 8

Upheld in the Battle

If we live in heroic faith by flinging ourselves with reckless confidence on God, then He makes us strong for the battles we must fight in this life. And there are many. He provides plenty of weapons for our warfare through His Word, the Bible. He also brings alongside us plenty of fellow soldiers to fight the good fight together. I hope you will find help for your conflicts as you look through Upheld In The Battle. Read About Upheld in the Battle
