#779 - Excerpt from The Jesus of Suburbia by Mike Erre

"We have a part to play in this life of risk and faith.  Jesus calls us beyond our comfort level to step into obedience and watch God do great and mighty things.  We say to God, "Show me and I'll believe."  Instead, God says to us, "Believe, and I'll show you."  This is the life of following Jesus Christ.  We say, "God, show me your will and I'll obey you."  God says, "Obey me, and I'll show you my will."  God isn't looking for a bunch of "I should do this because that's what good Christians do" kind of people.  He's looking for "I wouldn't miss this for the world" kind of people."
