Title:
Creighton Lacy - "Fear Not, Only Believe" (February 2, 1958)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 0:02. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 10:00.

  • Uses the example of Joan of Arc (the play) to preach about belief and un-belief. Explains that even in places where there seems to be un-belief (communist Russia, scientific spaces), there is always a belif in some sort of cause. Within our Christian faith, to belief is to exert the power to live, and to not believe is to hinder God's power in our lives. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: "For this faith is no mere intellectual assent to a creed, or to an historical fact. It is the power by which we live .Not only does faith lift us up, give us courage, enable us to act creatively, but also our faith makes it possible for God to act. And conversely, our lack of faith hinders the achievement of His will."
