Mountain-Moving Faith
by Robert H. Schuller






                               "If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you can
                               say to this mountain: move!    And it will move!   And
                               nothing will be impossible to you!"

                               There are many people who claim to live by faith but
                               remain low achievers.  We all know individuals who 
                               claim to exercise real faith yet they accomplish little
                               or nothing.  What's wrong?  Frequently failure is the
                               result of a too-shallow faith.
                               
                               I walk to the beach and I see people cautiously put-
                               ting their toes in the edge of the ocean.  They splash
                               around ankle-deep, come back to lie down in the sun,
                               and go home claiming they have been swimming.

                               There are others who wade waist-deep in the water 
                               before they turn back to lie on the warm sand.

                               Then there is the real venturer who moves steadily 
                               deeper until the water reaches his shoulders and he
                               begins to swim.  He has moved to the deeper level
                               and can honestly claim that he has been swimming.
                               Mountain moving-faith is not merely touching your
                               toes in the water.

                               Mountain-moving faith is faith that dares to step into
                               deep water.
