Religion & Spirituality
According to James, we’re not called to believe the right things, say the right things, or have the right bumper stickers on our cars. According to James, our job is live like Jesus asked us to live. Simple. Do the things Jesus did and people will see Jesus standing right in front of them. Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, bind up the broken-hearted, give voice to those who have no voice, sing with those who sing, mourn with those who mourn, heal the sick, pray and cry and laugh and confess your sins—because Lord knows we’ve all got plenty to confess. And the miracle of it is, when the church begins to act like Jesus—it’s its own best advertisement. And we don’t do any of those things because by doing them we’ll be successful, attract hoards of young families pulling trailers full of cash into our parking lot. We live like Jesus because it’s the right thing to do—because Jesus asked us to. Subscribe to us on iTunes! Sermon text: web | doc
