Danger Quote by Johnnie Moore
““Moses warned the Israelites that they would be in greater danger when they entered the Promised Land than they were in the wilderness. What a warning for us today, especially those of us who live in places like the United States! We are in greater spiritual danger when we’re in abundance, safety, and peace than when we’re in need, peril, or distress. Most of us barely realize it, and this is why our faith is so weak. The worst sins””

![“Moses warned them [Israelites] that the leading spiritual danger they would face on entering the [promise] land would be forgetting the Lord. What adversity would not do, prosperity and satisfaction could.
