For God is in fact, the brave man's hope, not the coward's excuse. It is the coward, who, while mocking those of an exercised faith in God, will, at the end of his days, die with the horror of an empty soul. Lost for all eternity is the man who fails to grasp the brave man's hope - the Lord Jesus Christ. Never at rest, knowing no real peace, possessing no genuine hope, cowards suffer loss in this life and the world to come. How broken are they who trust not God, who fail to take Him at His Word.
Faith is no crutch.
It is instead a pillar of strength which will serve as the support of life for the bravest of men. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God .
