“When we make up rules because we are afraid people will sin, we end up doing an end run around faith. It’s not fear that saves us – it’s faith. Fear of failure has a sneaky way of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. We focus so much on what we don’t want to do that we are drawn to it like a moth to a flame. Or like a mosquito to a bug zapper, since we’re in the twenty-first century now.”
