Faith that Works!

I've loved reading James.  It's a great reminder to me that my faith is only known when it's in action.  I got a post from an online devotional (Proverbs 31 Ministries) written by Lysa Terkeurst that fit so perfectly with this. 

"If we want to know God, we have to follow Him. Follow His instructions. Follow His heart. Follow His example. Not just follow along as we mindlessly repeat the words of the Jesus songs and scribble some notes during the pastor’s sermon. No. Really follow. Follow hard. Follow passionately. Follow fully. Follow with engaged minds and willing hearts and open hands and ready feet."

I can have all the right answers about what I believe...but if I don't live it out for the world to see, then my talk is cheap and my walk is week.
