    Has your faith been fleshed out? When something is fleshed out you put skin, flesh and meat over the bones. The same must occur in our spiritual lives. Our faith must be covered with substance. Without substance there is no faith. James spoke of the relationship between faith and works. Without ...read more

The Scripture Readings for this day were: Proverbs 22:1-2, 8-9, 22-23 ; Psalm 125 ; James 2:1-17 and Mark 7:24-37. Alexander Graham Bell was an amazingly talented person. He invented the ...read more

    Faith plus Works produces miracles. It is not that God cannot work in any other manner, but generally, this is the method He chooses. So have a keen ear and be quick to do what He bids you to do. A miracle is just ahead if you will believe and obey.

    Esfuerzo Requerido (Effort Demanded) James (Stg.) 2:14-18 14 ¶ What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

    Jesus calls us to love to a way of living and being and acting out of a foundation of the revealed, enacted love of God for us, which we then strive to delight in and live out of.

    Doing what we love January 15, 2012 Intro: Last Sunday I began by asking us to create a list of some fictional characters that are well known and generally admired by our culture (show list). Then I asked for some adjectives that we might use to describe these characters, and we brainstormed a ...read more

    We are sinners saved by grace through faith but how can we prove it, how can we show it? By our words, actions and attitudes, in all of which people, especially non-believers, should see Christ in us.

    The Marriage Of Faith And Deeds

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 5, 2012
     | 5,122 views

    Some people live under the separation of faith and deeds. But they were destined to be together. And what God has joined together, let man not separate.

    THE MARRIAGE OF FAITH AND DEEDS James 2:14-26 1) James 2:14-18. • Faith, like love, is an action word (vs. 14-18). If a man who merely says I wish you well but does not act upon that wish by feeding his fellow man then it is not true faith. True faith expresses itself in love. Gal. 5:6b, ...read more

    James discusses the external evidence of one's salvation.

    Faith is one of the great concepts of our Christian experience. Yet, some have pressed this to an extreme by implying that it makes no difference how one lives - faith is all that matters. What I am referring to is what is referred to by some as “easy believism.” Easy believism ...read more

    For the Christian, Faith is not spelled "F-A-I-T-H" it is spelled "R-I-S-K." If something is not a risk, then it really does not require Faith. Updated March 2021.
