Men are afraid to say yes to God. When a young man, I sat in a little meeting one night when the Spirit was talking to my heart. I said, "If I am going to be a Christian, I cannot do this, and I cannot do that." Oh, mighty God, it almost makes my soul vomit in these days to think of the average conception man has of Christianity.
About ninety percent of so-called Christianity is all spelled with four letters, d-o-n'-t. Don't do this and don't do that. The individual restraining himself, putting himself in a harness, walking according to laws and ordinances, etc. Why bless God, religion is all contained in two letters, b-e. Not performing acts, but being the thing that God purposed.
--John G. Lake
