"But Philip was obsessed with mundane matters and therefore overwhelmed by the impossibility of the immediate problem. He knew too much arithmetic to be adventurous. The reality of the raw facts clouded his faith. He was so obsessed with this temporal predicament that he was oblivious to the transcendental possibilities that lay in  Jesus' power. He was so enthralled with common-sense calculations that he didn't see the opportunity the situation presented...The limitless supernatural power of Christ had completely escaped his thinking...He needed to set aside his materialistic, pragmatic, common-sense concerns and learn to lay hold of the supernatural potential of faith." - Twelve Ordinary Men, by John MacArthur
