Jesus invited Peter to step out of the boat and do the impossible. Peter had the guts to say yes. God the Inviter still invites us to step out of our boats and onto His waters. Anyone can walk on dry ground. Where’s the glory for God in that? The question today is, “Are you willing to attempt the impossible for God’s glory? -- Friar Tuck's Occasional Wisdom
PRIORITIES
Many Christians today want to drink from the cup of salvation, but they balk at lifting it up to others. The American church is top heavy with those who’ve read all the latest books and attended all the best bible conferences with all the coolest contemporary personalities.... but who have never led another person to Jesus. We gorge ourselves on knowledge in a world starving for the gospel. We pay highly trained professional clergy to enlighten us, edify us, feed us, and entertain us.... but they are often reluctant to speak of repentance, conversion, sacrifice, or the cost of discipleship for fear of losing us. Lord, have mercy! -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom
