“James tells us, “Faith without deeds is dead” (Jas 2:26). And he is right. Nothing harms the body of Christ more than a believer who refuses to exercise his or her faith in the absolute, infinite power of God. Verbal faith is not enough, and mental faith is insufficient. Genuine faith inspires and empowers godly action. Throughout his letter, James integrates true faith and everyday, practical experience by stressing that true faith must manifest itself in works of faith. Otherwise, it is not real faith at all.”

“Philippians 3:3 instructs, “Serve God by his Spirit . . . boast in Christ Jesus . . . put no confidence in the flesh.” It will not only satisfy your being but will also build intimacy in your relationship with him.”
