A Working Faith

Posted by K-Lai Mon, 17 Nov 2003 09:18:00 GMT

Alright everyone, I didn’t get one up on Sunday (and actually this is really early Monday morning too, so this should count as Sunday’s post). The sermon was awesome again. Ronnie was speaking about Noah’s faith of work, and what really stuck out to me was that we can’t have a working faith until we have a worshiping faith and we’re walking in faith (Abel and Enoch). Too often we spend time trying to find ways to serve God and stay busy doing things: sharing the Gospel, discipling people, etc. Not that these things are wrong, but I think that sometimes the motivation is wrong. I caught myself doing that earlier this year. While I wanted to serve and do all these things, I was doing them more for the sake of looking like a super-Christian, rather than glorifying God. It seems like Ronnie was saying that if we don’t get our foundation laid in worship and our personal relationship with God, the actions we do are totally worthless. So while I’m still going to work on having a “working” faith, I’m also going to make sure my life is first and foremost a life that worships God, and that I’m consistently and daily walking with Him.
