Just Do It

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress AND to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." Ours is a hands-on faith--it is not enough to simply give, no matter how much, or to send someone else, no matter how well intentioned. WE are to go to others in the midst of their desperation and JUST DO SOMETHING about it. Grace moves us toward compassion...and then compels us toward purity. For faith, absent of action, is dead.

Scripture References: James 1:22-27, Ephesians 2:8-10, James 2:14-17

From Series: "Life Hacks from the Book of James"

We have seen them and been amazed. Life Hacks--those tricks, shortcuts, and novel ways of doing something familiar with increased efficiency and productivity. The Book of James is filled with spiritual life hacks--practical ways to put our faith into action. From controlling what we say to limiting the influences in our lives, James gives "hacks" to wisely live out our faith in a way that just makes life better.
