Speaker Notes

The Shield of Faith – 3 types of Faith

Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians 6:16

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Habakkuk 1:2a

2 How long, Lord, must I call for help,
but you do not listen?

Habakkuk 2:2-4

2 Then the Lord replied:

“Write down the revelation
    and make it plain on tablets
    so that a herald may run with it.
3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
    it speaks of the end
    and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
    it will certainly come
    and will not delay.

4 “See, the enemy is puffed up;
    his desires are not upright—
    but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness—

Anonymous author, carved in a cell wall (concentration camp) or a cellar wall (Cologne, Germany):

I believe in the sun even when it’s not shining.
I believe in love even when there is no one there.
I believe in God even when he is silent.
