Read it, Learn It, Live It, Share It
“What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” – James 2:14-17

This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life
I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life
'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

These are the lyrics from Matthew West, a contemporary Christian artist, who writes deeply inspirational songs from the heart. As I find myself working through the struggles in life, trying to find a way to more completely serve the Lord, this song has weighed heavily on my heart. Stop for a moment, listen to this song (click the link above) and then let it sink in. God has given you unbelievable opportunities to serve Him with all that you have. The responsibility is yours to do something with what He has given you to impact those around you for Him. These actions don’t get you to heaven, the blood of Christ has already done that. These actions on your part help to expand His Kingdom and bring His grace and love to others that they in turn might come to know Him. Don’t waste another moment, stop going through the Motions of being a Christian and start living / serving others, with the only life you have.
