Faith Needs Action

 Add some action to your faith…. 

Let’s see when is action not needed for good results. 

Can I have a gym membership only or do I need to go and work out in order to lose weight and get fit? 

Can I get paid for my job and not have to show up to work? 

Can I have a healthy home life as a husband and a dad without participating daily in the lives of my loved ones? 

It’s the same with our walk with Jesus. 

It’s not good enough to memorize the Bible and sit in a church seat on Sunday. God wants a relationship with us that includes action… 

Check your experience… 

“To be vital, faith must be accompanied by self-sacrifice and unselfish, constructive action.” Big Book pg. 93

Lord, let us participate in our faith daily with actions that grow our relationship with You, AMEN. 

“Do what God’s teaching says; when you only listen and do nothing, you are fooling yourselves.” James 1:22 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Get Back Up!

Keep on getting back up…. 

We face many challenges daily. 

Some we are used to and because of this we naturally know what to do to overcome them and move on. 

Some are bigger and because we don’t experience them so often, we can become confused and even feel like giving up. 

Don’t quit! 

It’s always darkest before dawn. If you have submitted your idea or plan to God through prayers and good works, then He has heard you and in time, HIS time, it will come to pass. 

Pastor Brian Houston from Hillsong United Church said it best, “No matter how many times you get knocked down. God is in your heart. Keep getting up and showing up”

Keep on getting back up after being knocked down and you will not only learn, but eventually succeed!...

Check your experience… 

“Some of us have taken very hard knocks to learn this truth: ….we simply do not stop…..so long as we place dependence upon other people ahead of dependence on God.” Big Book pg. 98 

 Lord, let us continue getting up after being knocked down, knowing in our hearts that if we continue to seek and do Your will, we will succeed, AMEN. 

“We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated. We do not know what to do, but we do not give up the hope of living. We are persecuted, but God does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed.” 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

From the Heart

From the heart… 

It’s easy today to show support for just about anything. 

Social media allows us to post our support for our causes. 

Our dollars show our support for the products, businesses, and causes as well. 

But how do we truly show our beliefs? 

 The spiritual side of our lives deals with our hearts and what we keep in them. 

While it’s a natural fact that unless it comes from our heart we are not truly giving it our true best effort. 

My 2 favorite books the Bible and the Big Book tell us, and my experience has taught me that believing with your heart means my motives, efforts, actions, and behaviors all align. 

How’s that working out for you?.. 

Check your experience… 

"Do I now believe, or am I even willing to believe, that there is a Power greater than myself?" Big Book pg. 47 

Lord, let our hearts be filled with Your Holy Spirit and fuel our beliefs, AMEN. 

“For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified,” Romans 10:10 

 Have a blessed day Y’all!
