In this timely 2001 lecture, Brother Harry Tennant reflects on the difference between “the faith”—the body of truth revealed in scripture—and “our faith,” the way we live out that truth in daily life.

With practical examples ranging from family life to world affairs, he urges listeners to remain grounded in the Bible through daily readings, prayer, and teaching their children diligently. He reminds us that while the world promotes self as master, disciples are called to live with wholehearted love for God, shaping their homes and lives around His Word.

The phrase “himself bare our infirmities” is revealed not as a ritual theory, but as a living reality: Jesus felt the weight of our frailty, carried it in his own body, and triumphed without sin.
