The Dangers of a Shallow Faith: Awakening from Spiritual Lethargy

by A.W. Tozer

Let us be courageous but tender; severe but kind. And let us pray in the Holy Spirit and keep ourselves in the love of God, building up ourselves in the most holy faith, and win all those we can till the day of the glory and the song. Faith of Our Fathers Frederick William Faber (1814–1863) Faith of our fathers, living still, In spite of dungeon, fire and sword; O how our hearts beat high with joy Whenever we hear that glorious Word! Faith of our fathers, we will strive To win all nations unto Thee; And through the truth that comes from God, We all shall then be truly free. Faith of our fathers, we will love Both friend and foe in all our strife; And preach Thee, too, as love knows how By kindly words and virtuous life. Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death.
