So tonight I found myself heading up to Impact to get some work accomplished since I've missed a lot of the week being sick. I went in a different than I usually do in the main building and I was surprised to see someone standing right in front of the door at the welcome booth. Which was weird since no one usually there except for Sundays.
Tonight, I stumbled upon one of our outdoorsmen (they aren't homeless, they just live outdoors) reading Psalms 5. Which was awesome to walk in on and made me smile. And it reminded me in James 2 where it talks about not just wishing someone well who is in need or just praying for them, but actually doing something for them. It's cold in Houston, and I'm glad I'm at a place that seeks to keep people warm through the night and faith is never dead.
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:14-17
Grace and Peace.
