Less Talk, More Action
Little children, let us not love in word or talk, but in deed and in truth. 1 John 3:18 We can all talk a good game at times but following that up with action is sometimes a different story.

Walk and Talk

The Lord Jesus, in answering the Pharisees said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your… Continue reading No Additives Needed
Active Love from an Act of Love
The love that we give, or show, is the litmus test of the depth of our relationship with God.
Active Faith
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 The apostle Paul uses the term ‘walk’ quite a lot in his writing; walk in faith, walk in the Spirit, walk in love, walk as children of light, walk in newness of life.… Continue reading Active Faith
