"To go back is nothing but death; to go forward is fear of death, and life everlasting beyond it. I will yet go forward." - Bunyan
This little line tucked into Pilgrim's Progress changed my life. The idea of slow, steady, faithful progress in the face of suffering and death, rather than big, exciting leaps and bounds all the time, defines me.
I was the "Radical" and "Crazy Love" and "seashells" generation where we all wanted to be missionaries and felt like failures if God had something different for us.
God uses ordinary faithfulness. Be a good dad. Be a good husband. Be a regular, boring, faithful pastor or writer or construction sales rep. Patient perseverance is often better than radical revolution.
