Christian Mistakes

Dear Victorious,

What's the biggest mistake that sincere Christians (not the hypocrites) make?

Dear George,

I suppose it is to over complicate our faith. Faith doesn't need to be complicated. It just needs to be direct and genuine. We must be more eager to believe and obey than we are to understand everything. That's the childlike faith that Jesus honors most.

Too many times sincere Christians are on a quest for understanding or learning. They study everything, but obey little. They work hard to gain understanding, but give little in submission. That's the effort that produces the least amount of righteousness.
