Living the Five
Pathway Points
Stepping Up for Jesus
As I was
watching various videos on YouTube this week, I came across an interesting
quote at the very end of one of the One Minute Apologist videos. I couldn’t verify that Augustine said it word for word,
but he does have at least one treatise with this basic gist.
We are not saved by faith plus works, but by faith that
works.
What the One Minute Apologist, Bobby Conway, was
getting at is the same idea that James was trying to convey in James
2:26.
Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith
is dead without good works.
If we truly claim to have a faith in the life, death,
and resurrection of Jesus Christ, then we can’t help but have it show up in our
lives in the things that we do and the way that we do them.
In our church-wide study based on the book, Living the Five, we’re going to look
at how that played out in the life of the early church as they tried to live
out Jesus’s
Great
Commandment: Matthew
22:36-40 and his
Great
Commission: Matthew
28:18-20.
I hope you’ll join us, both in a small group and on
Sunday mornings, as we look at five ways that our faith should be overflowing
into our everyday lives.
Stepping up with you in His strength!
