ACT!

Danilo Dolce once stated, "It's important to know that words don't move mountains. Work, exacting work moves mountains.

People pray. People believe in prayer......but do they act as a part of that prayer or is it all in God's hands?


We should never forget that we are the mouth, hands, and feet of God. I truly believe that if God equips you, He expects you to step up to the plate.

When the disciples were complaining about not being able to catch fish, Jesus told them to cast their nets into the deep. Jesus stepped into the boat with them but they had to do the work.

Is Jesus in your boat?

I have a close friend who's marraige is stagnant and seemingly hopeless. They say that they pray about it all the time, and yet, not 10 minutes later they will be complaining about or criticizing their spouse. It's no wonder that the marraige isn't improving.

There was a period in my youth when my father played around with the notion of Christian Science. While I'm sure they are very good people, I believe they have gotten caught up in legalism. My gradeschool music teacher was a Christian Scientist. He died from a simple case of Pneumonia because he would not act and see a doctor.

Whether it is a marriage, friendship, relationship, or even a life in the balance. God expects us to take action. It doesn't actually say, "God helps those who help themselves" in the bible, but I think it is a statement worth listening to.
