Deeper Faith

Deeper Faith

Vic's large contingent returned with a deeper faith in Christ and practical Biblical messages. The members also carried home a zeal for the extension of Christ's Kingdom.

Problems of Christian living were dealt with frankly by General Secretary Warner Hutchinson. "The biggest problems facing a university student are sex and finding a career," said Mr Hutchinson. "Both these problems find their solution when a person is rightly related to God through Jesus Christ."

Taking James as his Bible study. Rev. Rob Kirkby presented again this message of this epistle: "Faith without works is dead." "What we hear in the Holy place," said Rev. Kirkby, "we should practice in the market place."

A strongly Scriptural series was given on the Holy Spirit by Rev. J. Pritchard. "The abiding evidences of the fullness of the Holy Spirit are great love, great joy, great boldness, great power, and great reverence." "The Holy Spirit," he said, "will never come in to glorify you—His job is to glorify Christ alone!"

Dr. H. H. Money gave the missionary address. Few will forget his words. Taking the parable of the Supper, Dr. Money said the invitation of the Gospel had gone out to the streets and lanes—it must now go out to the highways and hedges—the tiny evangelical tribes in South America with their own languages.

By far the richest times, however, for many, were in the prayer groups, in spiritual communion with others and in private devotions.

All realised again the great foundation of Christianity—Jesus Christ as revealed through the Holy Scriptures.
