Dr. Frank Lauback: “Heaven trembles lest we may prove too small and too late, lest we be bound by our weak habits when God summons us to great deeds…. I’m afraid of some … who have neither fire nor vision … who begin to see why this might be hard, or unprecedented, or premature if not properly surveyed, or too informal, or too big. The put-on-the-brakes type, the go-slow type … can ruin God’s program. O ye of little faith, keep your foot off the brake…. Who ever heard of God holding us back? He weeps over us as He did over Jerusalem. We have nothing to fear; we shall not fall when God is pushing us. I tell you what we need to fear: Fear the way we are now, for we aren’t good enough, hot enough, daring enough, far-visioned enough, for this splendid hour.” Quoted by Robert Pierson in So You Want to be a Leader, p. 11.
