Crown of Life (15 of 38)
John Barnett
John Monsell's hymn focuses on the virtue of true commitment:
Fight the good fight with all thy might;
Christ is thy strength, and Christ thy right.
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally.
Run the straight race through God's good grace,
Lift up thine eyes, and seek His face;
Life with its way before thee lies,
Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.
Cast care aside, lean on thy Guide;
His boundless mercy will provide;
Trust, and thy trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life, and Christ its love.
What did James write as the opening chapter of God's New Covenant people? Simply this, a clear and simple way of life that reflects a maturing walk of faith.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Their bodies riddled with arrows fell on a remote riverbank in the dense jungles of Irian Jaya the victims of Christ-less cannibal savages. Their last (2)moments were witnessed by hundreds of warriors. Two of these men later were converted and retold the story I am about to share with you now. One Nalimo, helped to kill them. The other Yemu was a helper and guide who tried to prevent their murder. The story picks up on the second visit these two Regions Beyond Missionary Union missionaries have to these remote tribesmen. On the first visit they had b ...
