Believing, but not confessing

"Nevertheless even among the rulers

many believed in Him,

but because of the Pharisees

they did not confess Him,

lest they should be put out

 of the synagogue;

for they loved the praise of men more

than the praise of God."

John 12:42-43

Faith without a confession is like

a bird that refuses to fly,

a fish that doesn't swim. 

It's like an amazing thought

 that never gets spoken.

It's a life never lived.
