Faith Is about Making a Difference—Not Just an Impression
Please don't be fooled by a faith that is meant to impress.
If you are sensing the need to step out onto the water and flex your faith muscles, please don't be intimidated by those who have a big vocabulary of words that makes them sound like they have great faith. They may just be all talk.
The Bible teaches us to look for the works of faith—not the words of faith.
“What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead (James 2:14‐20 NKJV)?”
