The Case Stated

THE CASE STATED

Unanswered prayers stand between the individual and a faith life.
Some have lost faith altogether. Many have turned to philosophical and metaphysical cults because their prayer lives were failures.
If we should ask the individual what he believes to be his greatest difficulty in his Christian walk, I believe invariably his answer would be, “I haven’t enough faith. I know it is not God’s fault. I know the promises are there in the Word. I have simply failed to get faith. I have prayed for it; I have fasted for it; but I don’t know how to get it.”

This little conversation took place between a husband and wife over the breakfast table:
“No, I am not losing my confidence in the Bible, but it does seem to me that after the years we have attended church, we should have gotten somewhere.
“Today in the office the question of faith came up and I found that I had none. That is, I didn’t have any positive, clear-cut faith in the Word as I have in business.
“I have faith in the things that we manufacture. I know that they will do the things we advertise they will do.

“I don’t know that God’s Word will do the thing that it is advertised to do. I would like to know where the difficulty is.
“Down at the office, when we face a problem we solve it, but in our church we just cover it up. We ignore it. I have ignored it as long as I can. I must know!”
This is the reason for this book. We have written it to answer the faith problem for thinking men and women.
