On July 15, 1859, Charles Blondin or as known as "The Daredevil of Niagara Falls", walked 160 feet above the falls a few times back and forth as a huge crowd watched with shock and awe.
He crossed in a sack, on a bicycle, then with a stove and cooked an omelet! After pushing a wheelbarrow across while blindfolded, he stopped and asked the audience, "Do you believe I can carry a person across in this wheelbarrow?"
The crowd shouted that they believe!
"Now I need a volunteer in this wheelbarrow!"
None of them ever stepped forward that day.
Their 'faith claim' in Charles Blondin proved to be not less and not more than just a fraud.
"If you believe in Christ, you will love Him." (1 John 5:1)
"If you love Him, you will keep His commandments." (John 14:15)
"Obey God's message! Don't fool yourselves by just listening to it." (James 1:22)
"Anyone who hears My teachings and doesn't obey them is like a foolish person who built a house on sand." (Matthew 7:26)
"... to lead all nations to the obedience that comes from faith---" (Romans 16:26)
