What real faith looks like



Over the last 2 years or so Ryan has introduced me to several Christian blogs that have brought me a lot of encouragement, interesting information, and sometime a good laugh.  Below is a quote that Ray Ortlund shared on his blog recently that I wanted to share.  It brought me a lot of encouragement today.

“Pseudo-faith always arranges a way out to serve in case God fails it.  Real faith knows only one way and gladly allows itself to be stripped of any second way or makeshift substitutes.  For true faith, it is either God or total collapse.  And not since Adam first stood up on the earth has God failed a single man or woman who trusted him.”

A. W. Tozer, “True Faith Brings Committal,” In The Root of the Righteous (Harrisburg, 1955), pages 49-50.
