Not Fair-Weather Believers

The character of our faith has a whole lot to do with the character of the One we put our faith in.  This is why we can be confident no matter what the circumstances.

Followers of Christ are not simply fair-weather believers.  They are realistically committed to truth, people who "think in believing and believe in thinking" as Augustine expressed it.  They are, therefore, like experienced pilots who can fly in bad weather as easily as in good, by night as well as by day, and upside down as well as right side up. ~ W.
