Title: Puritan's Faith
Contents
It was a long time ago. In 1588, the Spanish and British navy waged a great war off the coast of England. At that time, Spain was the greatest power. Britain was weak. However, the Spanish Navy is an invincible fleet. The Armada Fleet is very famous. There are 130 Spanish ships. Thirty thousand soldiers are on board those 130 ships. This war will be a war between the Catholics of the Old Testament and the forces of Protestant Christianity. However, Britain wins the war. complete victory. The Spanish Invincible Fleet was completely destroyed and fewer than 10,000 out of 30,000 returned to their homeland alive.
There are many stories about why this happened, but one of the most important is that British weapons are good. At that time, what did each country research on, couldn't it be possible to make a cannon that was cheaper and had better performance? It was the subject of a study of the time. It was made in England. How did Britain make the iron cannon, the most advanced weapon of its time, before any other country?
What was said in the Bible today is Matthew 13:31.
31 And he gave another parable, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.
Now, I don't have the passion of believing in Jesus, risking the lives of my seniors of faith. Right now, I believe in Jesus. Believing in Jesus is investing your life. Believing in Jesus is not something to go too far. To believe, you have to do it right. How good is the world? It's okay if you don't believe it. Now, as long as we choose to believe and believe because the word of God is the truth because it is the truth, we must become leaven. It must become mustard seed and leaven. That is why the faith of our Puritan ancestors is important. A few people make the foundation of a country's history. Building an era. I hope that our church will be able to have such aspirations as puritans, yeast, and mustard seeds that pray and receive answers.
