Talk The Talk And Walk The Walk

Contributed by Ian Whitmore on Jul 31, 2024

Faith and works. This is the duo that is inseparable for James. James lays that out pretty plainly in this passage. Faith and works must go together. Belief and action, words and deeds.

Had Enough Of The Enemy’s Bluff?

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 8, 2020

The Jebusites "trash-talked" to David that even their lame and blind could fend off his troops from taking Jerusalem. We too have strongholds we've allowed that Satan tells us we can't overcome, but Jesus has come to help us defeat them!

What work the devil cannot do from without, he seeks to do from within through synthetic saints.
