From the Author:
A fresh and thrilling angle on FAITH -- a treasure-chest
Jesus spoke two thousand years ago about the "mustard seed," a small thing with mighty potency. Maybe today He would talk about a microchip or fuse to illustrate His teaching. "If you have faith as small as an electric fuse you could transplant trees from soil to sea." Like the mustard seed, the value of a fuse is not in breadth or length. The key is "conductivity." Faith transfers the power of God to wherever it is needed. A fuse is made of a metal, such as silver wire, which offers low resistance to current. Low resistance means high conductivity. Translated into the spiritual, the lower our resistance to the Word of God, the higher the power rating. The higher our resistance in obedience to the Word, the lower the operational power of God. A fuse with high resistance would either carry no power at all or else soon blow. When we resist the Word by unbelief, the power of God can’t come through. If we say we believe in the Word but disobey it, we negate our faith. It blows the fuse. The power of God is little when the Word of God means little to us. Whatever else may be true, one thing is absolutely beyond contradiction: Christianity is a power religion or it is nothing. Liberals, teachers of rationalist doctrine, rely on logic. The apostles relied on the power of God. "The world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe" (1 Cor. 1:21 kjv).
