Bedrock Quote by Philip Yancey
“A faithful person sees life from the perspective of trust, not fear. Bedrock faith allows me to believe that, despite the chaos of the present moment, God does reign; that regardless of how worthless I may feel, I truly matter to a God of love; that no pain lasts forever and no evil triumphs in the end. Faith sees even the darkest deed of all history, the death of God's Son, as a necessary prelude to the brightest.”

![“A Faithful Servant So then, let us [apostles] be looked upon as ministering servants of Christ and stewards (trustees) of the mysteries (the secret purposes) of God. Moreover, it is [essentially] required of stewards that a man should be found faithful [proving himself worthy of trust]. 1…” quote by Joyce Meyer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/207/joyce-meyer-123_trust_a-faithful-servant-so-then-let-us-apostl_1431977.jpg)
![“[Faith] sees in the resurrection of Christ not the eternity of heaven, but the future of the very earth on which his cross stands. It sees in him the future of the very humanity for which he died. That is why it finds the cross the hope of the earth.” quote by Jürgen Moltmann](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6d7/j-rgen-moltmann-9122_eschatology_faith-sees-in-the-resurrection-of-christ_251702.jpg)
