<blockquote>Scoutcraft is a means through which the veriest hooligan can be brought to higher thought and to the elements of faith in God; and, coupled with the Scout's obligation to do a good turn every day, it gives the base of Duty to God and to Neighbour on which the parent or pastor can build with greater ease the form of belief that is desired.</blockquote> | <blockquote>Scoutcraft is a means through which the veriest hooligan can be brought to higher thought and to the elements of faith in God; and, coupled with the Scout's obligation to do a good turn every day, it gives the base of Duty to God and to Neighbour on which the parent or pastor can build with greater ease the form of belief that is desired.</blockquote> | ||

''Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.'' ([https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/nt/philip/4.8?lang=eng#p8 Paul's Epistle to the Philipians 4:8]) | ''Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.''

=== How Faith in God Can Help Us === | |||
# '''Overcome Life's Obstacles''': Life for many of us often is full of obstacles. Many times we are faced with obstacles in our families, our finances, our health and a host of other issues. I've learned over the years that I either can overcome my obstacles or my obstacles can overcome me. (See full article : [https://www.tri-cityherald.com/living/religion/spiritual-life/article32058510.html Tri-City Herald Spiritual Life 14-April-2012]) | |||

# "Trials of Life": "The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us." (Alyson Felix) | |||
# "Trials of Life 2": We all face storms in life. Some are more difficult than others, but we all go through trials and tribulation. That's why we have the gift of faith. (Joyce Meyer) | |||
# "Trials of Life 3": Our Heavenly Father knows us and our circumstances and even what faces us in the future. His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior, has suffered and paid for our sins and those of all the people we will ever meet. He has perfect understanding of the feelings, the suffering, the trials, and the needs of every individual. ([https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1996/10/witnesses-for-god?lang=eng&country=mx Henry B Eyring 1996]) | |||
# "Trials of Life 4": The devil put before me that I could not endure the trials of the religious life, because of my delicate nurture. I defended myself against him by alleging the trials which Christ endured, and that it was not much for me to suffer something for His sake; besides, He would help me to bear it. (Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)) | |||
# "Learning from Trials of Life": If we are faithful to God in little things, we shall gain experience and strength that will be helpful to us in the more serious trials of life. (Hudson Taylor) | |||
# "Learning from Trials of Life 2": We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things. ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ward_Beecher Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887)] - an American Congregationalist clergyman, social reformer, and speaker, known for his support of the abolition of slavery, and his emphasis on God's love. | |||
=== Prayer === | |||
Faith brings answers to prayer. “And whatever things you ask in prayer, really believing, you will receive.” (Matthew 21:22). Since God tells us to pray for our daily bread (Matthew 6:11), faith is therefore a key to our material provision. | |||
=== Ignoring God Offensive? === | |||
Does God care or get offended if we ignore him? | |||
=== Feed My Sheep === | |||
<blockquote> | |||
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, aFeed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. ([https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/nt/john/21.22?lang=eng John 21:15-17])</blockquote> | |||
=== Love at Home === | |||
[[File:Lovebegins.jpg|thumb|right]] | |||
1. There is beauty all around When there's love at home; | |||
<br>There is joy in ev'ry sound When there's love at home. | |||
<br>Peace and plenty here abide, Smiling sweet on ev'ry side. | |||
<br>Time doth softly, sweetly glide When there's love at home. | |||
2. In the cottage there is joy When there's love at home; | |||
<br>Hate and envy ne'er annoy When there's love at home. | |||
<br>Roses bloom beneath our feet; All the earth's a garden sweet, | |||
<br>Making life a bliss complete When there's love at home. | |||
3. Kindly heaven smiles above When there's love at home; | |||
<br>All the world is filled with love When there's love at home. | |||
<br>Sweeter sings the brooklet by; Brighter beams the azure sky. | |||
<br>Oh, there's One who smiles on high When there's love at home. | |||
Text and music: John Hugh McNaughton, 1829-1891 | |||
