7/23/17 AM- Faith That Works Requires Action

And Jesus said to the man, Stand up and go. Your faith has made you whole ~Luke 17:19 “We can never DO the work of God in a dark world until we are motivated first by what God has DONE for us” “We can never LOVE the world in the name of Christ until we are first filled with the LOVE of Christ for us” 11As Jesus continued on toward Jerusalem, he reached the border between Galilee and Samaria. 12As he entered a village there, ten lepers stood at a distance, 13crying out, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" 14He looked at them and said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy. 15One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, "Praise God!" 16He fell to the ground at Jesus' feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan. 17Jesus asked, "Didn't I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? 18Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?" 19And Jesus said to the man, Stand up and go. Your faith has made you whole ~Luke 17:11-19 The number of those who pray is greater than the number of those who praise The number of those who believe is greater than the number of those who praise Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. ~Psalms 100:4
