Daniel 3:1-30
I heard a story about two nuns. They were nurses, and they were going into the country to check on a patient. And as they were driving back from the country to the convent, they ran out of gas on this country road. And they thought, Man, what are we going to do? And just then a truck came by.

And not just little faith, but big faith, admirable faith, wow kind of faith, faith that trusts God, faith that believes God, faith that doesn't compromise, no matter the situation, faith that can stand up to the hottest fire.
