Different Stuff

How does a man guard his life and soul? Ps 119:15-16
  • think on God's precepts
  • focus on God's ways
  • enjoy God's statutes
  • remember God's word

Faith...

Faith is not merely believing " in Jesus". It is believing that His will is the very best there is for us. Therefore, since we believe God's way is the best - His good, acceptable and perfect design-, we will obey Him instead of man. We will want to please God more that we want to impress man. Faith includes obedience. Obedience is the manifestation of our faith in God and His design and plan for our lives. There is no faith without obedience.

James taught - Faith without works is dead. Without obedience to God, faith is lifeless, non-productive, barren, non-existent.
