If You Want To Walk On Water,

Over And Over In The Bible, It Is Fear That Threatens To Keep People From Trusting And Obeying God.

Sheldon Vanauken Wrote That The Strongest Argument For Christianity Is Christians, When They Are Drawing Life From God. The Strongest Argument Against Christianity? Also Christians, When They Become Exclusive, Self-righteous, And Complacent.

The Decision To Grow Always Involves A Choice Between Risk And Comfort. This Means That To Be A Follower Of Jesus, You Must Renounce Comfort As The Ultimate Value Of Your Life.

For Many Of Us The Great Danger Is Not That We Will Renounce Our Faith. It Is That We Will Become So Distracted And Rushed And Preoccupied That We Will Settle For A Mediocre Version Of It.

We Must Learn To Cast Off Our Anxieties Because We Have So Many Of Them. The World Destroys Spiritual Life By Generating Constant Anxiety. Jesus Said That The Life Of The Gospel Is Choked Out By The Cares Of This World. We Know This To Be True Yet We Are More Chained And Tethered To The World Than Ever Before In The Human Race.
