the Father.

(This
QT teaches me how to begin Positive And Meaningful Prayer For The Church)
‘Job’s
Real Faith.’
Job
1:21.
a) Job realised that he was born with nothing.
b) Job realised that he would die with nothing.
c)
Job said three significant
things about and to the Lord:-
1- The
Lord gave.
2- The
Lord has taken away.
3- Blessed
be the Name of the Lord.
(Through
this Second one I have a glimpse of Job’s Real Faith)
Chris.
The
work of Faith of the Church is very important. If the Church is not doing any
work of Faith then it will surely become a dry and meaningless Church. The work
of Faith of the Church is mainly expressed in Mission, whether it is overseas
Mission or very local Mission. The work of Faith of the Church does not look to
try to bring more people into Church that is the responsibility of individual
members. The work of Faith of the Church is more to plant new Churches, even if
they are just a mile or two down the road.
