TOO CLOSE TO WHERE I GOT IN

Vance Havner said it this way: "Too many of us today are shaky about what we believe, BUT NOT SHAKEN BY WHAT WE BELIEVE." Our faith doesn’t shake us or have a hold on us.

A little boy fell out of his bed. When his mama asked him what happened, he said, "I don’t know. I guess I stayed too close to where I got in."

We do the same thing with our faith. We stay too close to where we get in. We get into the church, but never move any closer to the Lord.
