Even as we reach out into and sometimes demand the supernatural from God, we often neglect the natural or the basic demands of faith: worship, prayer, sacrifice, a pleasant testimony, giving, love for one another, including love for our enemies. To ask God for a miracle, while overlooking our basic Christian responsibilities is to show condescension for His holiness and power.

The Gospel
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]
