“The truth about our lives is that when it gets deep and hard, and when we are pressed from every side, we simply cannot make up our faith on the fly. We need a reservoir of hope and life and discipline and practice upon which to call when the time is urgent.” (Mark Ramsey)
That, simply put, is the most urgent reason for the Christian life, with its day-to-day faith practices, over the long haul, in season and out of season.
