Today, Ed’s devotional is based in Philemon.
Faith in action is powerful. It reveals the riches of living in Jesus. It leads others to see the beauty of Christianity. It draws people to the Lord. The most convincing faith is a demonstrated faith, II Thessalonians 1:11,12. Actions are more persuasive than words.
Focus question: How does your faith show itself at home, at school, in the workplace, in the congregation?
I read the devotional yesterday, even though I didn’t get anything posted. And today’s.
In the cause of Christ, profession and practice must go hand in hand. If the mind is twisted and the conscience numbed, nothing worthwhile can be accomplished. The world turns away from the Good News when a believer is no better than an unbeliever.
Ed’s emphasis today is on practicing what we profess to believe, using Tt 1.16 as the leading verse.
A good reminder on my spiritual birthday.
Focus question: Where is the fine line between accepting ourselves with our foibles and weakness and justifying sin in our lives?
