When Faith is Weak…

 

When faith if weak and hope is gone,

Life is empty without a song.

 

When faith is weak and works are none,

The Christian race has not been run.

 

When faith is weak and life is short,

Ones worth is seen right from the start.

 

When faith is weak and there is sin,

No power of will is found within.

 

When faith is weak and there is pride,

The evil One is there to guide.

 

When faith is weak and one has wealth,

It is used only for himself.

 

When faith is weak and knowledge too,

Tradition rules and none improve.

 

When faith is weak and there’s despair,

One’s left alone with one to care.

 

When faith is weak and death is faced,

Where shall one be forever placed?

 

- James E. Gibbons

“A man cannot please God unless he has faith.

Anyone who comes to God must believe that He is.

That one must also know that God gives what is

Promised to the one who keeps on looking for Him.”

Hebrews 11:6

I don’t let birdies and pars

Get in the way of having a

Good time.

Angelo Spagnolo

 

You swing your best when

You have the fewest things

To think about.

Bobby Jones

 

A shot that goes in the cup is pure luck,

But a shot to within two feet of the flag

Is skill.
