Faith and works should travel side by side, step answering to step, like the legs of men walking. First faith and then works; and then faith again, and then works again — until they can scarcely distinguish which is the one and which is the other.
– William Booth
I think Billy had that one nailed. Does the Scripture address this fact? Glad you asked.
James 1:22-25
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
Like the song says, “These Boots Were Made for Walking.” Start walking in line with the conclusion the Word leads us to. Give it some thought.
