Boarding

"Boarding" was one of Martin Luther's favorite definitions of faith. The person who doesn't have faith, he said, "is like someone who has to cross the sea, but is so frightened that he does not trust the ship. And so he stays where he is, and is never saved, because he will not get on board and crossover." The test of faith is "getting on board." -- p 90, Aquachurch, by Len Sweet
