       I think these people are afraid of follow the leading of the Spirit. They like everything all figured out and written down. They don’t want to follow a prompting of the Spirit. The question is always, “Well, what if I’m wrong. What if I thought the Holy Spirit was telling me to do this or that, and I do it, and I’m wrong.” Then, guess what? You’re wrong. But I would rather do something and be wrong, then not do something at all because I’m too afraid. As Theodore Roosevelt has taught us in the past, it’s better to try something and be wrong than to not try at all. Then someone might say, “But that’s not safe. I want to play it safe. I don’t want any unnecessary trouble.” Then you’re in the wrong group. God often doesn’t play things safe. I know, this is uncomfortable, but he doesn’t. Just read Hebrews chapter 11. A lot of the things done by the saints in that chapter were not safe. I’m going to say something here. You ready? Often being safe, playing it safe, is being disobedient. Uh-oh. Yeah, some of you just got convicted.
