Faith in Motion!

James 2:17So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead).James 2:16-18 (in Context) James 2 (Whole Chapter)

So a lot of people / Christians that are close to me have started talking about the idea that the church (the body of Christ, IE....us as Christians) have gotten lax, lazy, complacent, in a rut, or my favorite phrase "Going through the motions".

It really has me thinking that maybe God is ready for us to take our country back, by that I mean back to the reason our country was founded for. To seek God and FREELY Worship him in spirit and in truth. I mean come on guys lets face it....do we try to tell someone about Jesus....everyday? each time God places someone in your path? each time you get that feeling that you should say something to someone about a situation or circumstance? Make it known publicly that we do not agree with things that are anti - christian? Pray in public? Wholly pray not just "thank you God for our food, amen"? Are we living it out in our own home? For our children to see, to learn from (they will either learn from their parents or from the world, which one do you want them learning from)? Like a statement from pastors sermon on Sunday said "If your faith doesn't work at home, it doesn't work!. My friends it is far past the time for all of us as Christians to take a stand and actually live a true christian life. Now don't get me wrong in this, I am not pointing fingers cause Lord knows I am just as guilty at times, I have just had such conviction about this lately. If anyone has heard the words from the song " The Motions" then you can kinda get an idea of what has been going through my mind. Some of the people I am close to have had this same vision and we are ready to live this out. As far as our country goes, cause I know I mentioned it earlier, it is supposed to be for the people, by the people and of the people. Well, with money and greed blinding our government officials eyes to what the heck is going on here, our country is in process of turning into another Sodom and Gomorrah, and we all know what happened to those cities. If we stand we may still have a chance to save our country from falling into a country where we cannot freely worship God. We need to fervently pray for mercy for our country and for the strength to stand up for what is right and against what is wrong. The word of God says

Ephesians 3:10[The purpose is] that through the church the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere.Ephesians 3:9-11 (in Context) Ephesians 3 (Whole Chapter)


In temporary conclusion ( I will be back to add) I would like to paste here the lyrics to " The Motions" So all will have a view. Forget the music and read the words and let it sink in...
God bless you all and my prayers are with you.


"The Motions" by Matthew West

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 ok, is not enough Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don’t wanna go through the motions 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

Take me all the way Take me all the way Take me all the way
