Enjoy Life, Enjoy God
PRACTICE
July 18, 2013
We can't learn how to play tennis, golf, or shooting skeet by sitting in a classroom.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
-Philippians 4:9 TNIV
To follow Christ may start in the classroom, learning the things of faith, but if it is not put into practice, lived in the flesh, it is silly, vain, religion, lifeless.
Paul urges us to practice, to put into practice. Our beliefs come alive when we put them into practice. Turning the other cheek is an empty slogan until we offer our cheek "out there."
Joyfully,
