In April 1988 the evening news reported on a photographer who was a skydiver. He had jumped from a plane along with numerous other skydivers and filmed the group as they fell and opened their parachutes. On the film shown on the news report, as the final skydiver opened his chute, the picture went berserk. The announcer reported that the cameraman had fallen to his death, having jumped out of the plane without his parachute. It wasn't until he reached for the absent ripcord that he realize he was freefalling without a parachute. Until that point, the jump probably seemed exciting and fun. But tragically, he acted with thoughtless haste and deadly foolishness. Nothing could save him, for his faith was in a parachute never buckled on. Faith in anything but an all sufficient God will be just as deadly spiritually. Only with faith in Jesus can we safely navigate thru this dangerous world and please God. Ephesians 2:8, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." Amen.
