To: Hebrews 11:6

Peter’s walk on the water is a really a parable of how Christians are a lot of times.

At first they are gung-ho and very full of the faith and spirit, then as time goes by, they are buffeted by the cares and turmoil of this world, their faith falters and they begin to sink back into their old ways.........................

Well said, Red. Thank you, sir.

But you stopped short, didn’t you? Do you want to finish it, or shall I?

As I was reading my Bible just now, I came across a passage that I think exemplifies your point:

As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the LORD. They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”
Exodus 14
