You May Never Know What You're Missing

Copyright © 2007-2009 Joyce C. Lock


Surely, most everyone who has ever attended church has heard a preacher say, "Faith without works is dead," only to hear echoes in the background chanting, "Uh-huh."

He, then, proceeds with, "Show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works," quoting James 2:18 ... which gets the Amen Corner going, "Amen! Right on! Hallelujah! Preach it brother!"

Many sit there (feeling so superior), thinking they work in the church all the time, they've just been patted on the back, and this sermon is for someone else. Yet, I tend to wonder if anyone, in the congregation, understood its meaning.

Until we trust God enough to take blind steps of faith, we have not exercised faith at all. But, instead of taking those steps (when the miracles do not come) we blame God by saying He has changed.



Our works do not prove our faith. Our works of faith prove our faith, "Uh-huh! Amen! Right on! Hallelujah! Preach it brother!"

When God speaks to you, try taking spiritual risks. Otherwise, you may never know what you are missing.
