Heroes of the Faith
Every few weeks we will post the biographies of the great men and women of God who were 'Heroes fo the Faith.' It is of great profit to study the lives of those who have gone before us, making their lives count for Christ and the Gospel.
Remember those who led you, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the result of their conduct, their way of life and imitate their faith. - Hebrews 13:7
Click here our featured hero of the faith, David Brainerd.
The old truth that Calvin preached, that Augustine preached, that Paul preached, is the truth that I must preach to-day, or else be false to my conscience and my God. I cannot shape the truth; I know of no such thing as paring off the rough edges of a doctrine. John Knox's gospel is my gospel. That which thundered through Scotland must thunder through England again" (and also through America)
"I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, 'You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for Myself.' My hope arises from the freeness of Grace, and not from the freedom of the will."
