--EXTENDING GOD'S GRACE~

---FAITH IN ACTION~~

--"Show me your faith without deeds, and I will
show you my faith by my deeds."
--(James 2:18)

--As a friend drove to the store, she noticed a woman walking alongside the road and felt she should offer her a ride. When she did, she learned that the woman didn't have money for the bus. She was walking many miles home from work in the hot and humid weather. And she had walked that same road that morning to get to work by 4 a.m.

By offering a ride, my friend acted on James's instruction for Christians to live out their faith with their deeds: "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead" (V.17). He was concerned that the Church (all believers), take care of the widows and the orphans (James 1:27), and he also wanted them to rely not on empty words but to act on their faith by loving others and caring for their needs. May we, like my friend who offered the ride, keep our eyes open for those who might need our help as we walk together in this journey of life.~~
