    number 1For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness… (2 Peter 1:5a)

    Faith is the starting point.  If you don’t trust God, if you don’t act out of that trust, then nothing you do will have any lasting significance.

    So, it starts with faith.

    But it doesn’t end there.

    If your faith is real, it will produce good deeds.  They will flow naturally from your relationship with the Father.  Don’t take my word for it—go talk to James.  He says that, “Faith without deeds is useless.” (James 2:20)

    I like James.  He gets right to the point.

    As will I.

    What are you doing to add goodness to your faith?  What actions stand as proof that your trust in the Father is more than just words?

    Thursday awaits…

    Be good, Beloved.

    Let the games begin. (more…)
