Have you ever said to yourself, "I am impressed with the wonderful truths of God’s Word, but He can’t really expect me to live up to that and work all those details into my life!" When it comes to confronting Jesus Christ on the basis of His qualities and abilities, our attitudes reflect religious superiority. We think His ideals are lofty and they impress us, but we believe He is not in touch with reality— that what He says cannot actually be done. [...] We say, "It’s easy to say, ’Trust in the Lord,’ but a person has to live; and besides, Jesus has nothing with which to draw water— no means to be able to give us these things."
最近與一位姊妹傾偈，她談到當她與一些弟兄姊妹分享她在主裡的領受與決心時，換來的總是冷冷的反應。「你就得囉！我就無你咁屬靈囉！」當她鼓勵他們要在主裡進步時，他們便會說：「駛唔駛去到咁盡呀？你中哂毒啦。」
They totaly got it wrong. 只有信，與不信。不完全信，就是不信。若是信，就當完全按照所信的生活。
Lord, I have had misgivings about You. I have not believed in Your abilities, but only my own. And I have not believed in Your almighty power apart from my finite understanding of it."
