Fatigued Faith • James 2:17-26

“…Faith without works is dead…” (James 2:20) Faith is one of the many muscles in our walk with the Lord. In order to gain spiritual mass, it must be tested, stretched, torn, and repaired again and again in order to grow continually in our faith with Him. These times of silence, the times when we barely sense the Lord in our lives, the seasons we question His judgment, this is when we are exercising the muscle. It’s a beautiful time to grow and to still have faith while there’s nothing to hold on to except the last command we received from Him.

Don't Be Negligent • Haggai 1:9

Nowadays, we are so over saturated with commercials and TV programs promoting the lifestyle of the rich and famous. They stir up false needs to splurge lavishly on self-indulgences “because we deserve it” and all the while, close relatives and friends are in need or enduring a personal crisis. It is our Christian duty to perform an act of benevolence and to refresh others when it is within our power to do so. We should never neglect to perform a benevolent act of kindness. (Proverbs 3:27-28; 11:24-25) As you give willingly and generously, Jesus will bless you abundantly! (Psalm 84:11)
