Isn’t it powerful when ideas become actions?
Pressing the unseen into the seen...
Translating belief into behavior...
A sacrament is defined as:
“A rite believed to be a means of or visible form of grace…”
(The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition)
Baptism and Communion are central Christian sacraments: bread and wine to taste, cold water to feel... spiritual stuff enacted physically.
The church itself is a sort of sacrament, isn’t it? We are challenged to live out the Gospel -- to express God’s kingdom in our deeds.
“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
James 2:17 (NIV)
“Faith without action is as dead as a body without a soul.”
James 2:26 (Phillips)
