Jesus prayed we'd be 'ONE' with each other in Him that the world will know! (John 17)

“The vision must be followed by the venture.

It is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs.”

– Vance Havner

[quoted in Douglas M. White, Vance Havner, Journey from Jugtown: A Biography (1977)]
