I love how Jesus’ half-brother, James, described faith.\u00a0 He basically said faith without works is dead faith.\u00a0 A belief that doesn’t result in changed behavior is not really belief at all.\u00a0 In fact your true belief is demonstrated by what you do.\u00a0 That’s why it’s important to have an informed faith.\u00a0 Faith in God is not a blind faith.\u00a0 It’s an informed and grounded faith.\u00a0 There is so much evidence for who Jesus is and what he did in history, that we can have a faith based on reality, and from there our faith helps us to do all the things that Jesus commanded us to do.<\/p>\n
PS. I\u2019m sorry about the sound quality on this one.\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty terrible.\u00a0 You can hear it if you crank the volume, but it\u2019s not recorded well at all.<\/p>\n
