Sunday School Loseon* ..ww ifjsk; BWI "jjataJhiii........ Rugged Faith Lesson for July 31, 1957 AMAN who at the age of 40 was not afraid to give a minority report even in the face es a threatened lynching; a man who at 85 was still asking for the hardest job and the most dangerous job in the country; such a man is worth more than a glance. Such a man was Caleb, a much younger contemporary of Moses. KESSRH We first hear of | this sturdy man when he and W Joshua stood out alone against the • V | over whelming pessimism of the / V majority "Reon Pros- M pects." Twelve tribal leaders Dr. Foreman had been chosen to go into Palestine and see what things looked like. Ten of these leaders brought back the word (and archaeology shows It was true): The country is full of well-built, well-fortified cities. We shall not take it without a fight. But then they went on to say: We shall lose the fight. Forget all about the conquest of Canaan; it can’t be done. We are no better than grasshoppers! God-Conscious On the facts, Caleb and Joshua agreed. A beautiful land, well-de-fended cities, plenty of fighting certain. But on the recommendations they had something different to say. “Do not fear,” they said. “The Lord Is with us.” But no one believed them unless it was Moses. The people were so far from believing them that they threatened them with death by stoning. The difference between Caleb and Joshua, on the one side, and the masses of the people on the other, was the faith of these men. The majority thought only, “We can do nothing.” This tiny minority thought: “We can do a great deal —if God is with us.” The majority looked at the situation and found it boneless, because thev found it go<uess. Caleb looked at the same situation with hope and confidence, because he saw God as the most important part of it. The reason why faith is strong is that faith is God-conscious. Or Dud's Sift Merely being aware of God is not the whole of faith,—not the whole of the rugged faith of Caleb. It is quite clear from what Caleb said, that he wanted to be, and believed he was, on God’s side, and carrying out God’s purposes. Faith not only sees God in hard situations, faith lines up with God. so far as God’s will can be seen. There is a great deal of difference, for example, between faith as we find it in Luther and as we find it in Hitler. Both of them were men of strong faith. They believed themselves to be men of destiny. But then why were they so different? The difference was in this: Luther wished nothing higher than to follow the will of God wherever it might lead him; Hitler if he believed in God at all, expected God to support his own ambitions. A Hitler cracks up at the last; but a Luther does not. So Caleb outlived his entire generation, for his hope and his faith were planted in God, act in himself, _ ' ffithsut Fear, Without FrWo Faith in God like all good things ; san be turned into a sort of mock•ry of itself, a eheap or grotesque mitation of reality Faith ean be a Cover-W for fear. It can be used as a retreat to get out of attempt-* Ing hard things. Once a young man was pleading in a great gathering if Christian leaders, for men to go out as Christian missionaries.— this in a day when missionaries Mere very few An older minister rose and told the young man to lit down: “When God is ready to :onvert the heathen, he will do it without your help!” Thai minister was using his faith to conceal his jwn unwillingness to risk the dan-, gers of being a missionary. Some parents are so much afraid of vaccination that they will refuse to let their children be vaccinated—we believe in God. they say. True faith is a rugged thing, as Caleb’s was. It asks for the hardest tasks, it Is not afraid es work or danger Then faith can be twisted into pride; Hitler is an example of .that, so was Napoleon. So was the Grand Inquisitor; so have been any number of tyrants io the church and out of it. True faith creates confidence. but not conceit. When a mMb of faith begins himself with God, rugged faith has changed to brittle arrogance. Life is not measured by the time we live but what we do with our life. , To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step toward knowledge.
