Faith and Works
Sojourners who think the most of the next world are usually those who are doing the highest good in this one. (Joni Eareckson Tada, author and leader in disability assistance)
We’ve sometimes heard fervent Christians described as being “so heavenly minded, they’re no earthly good.” Tada is arguing just the opposite. History demonstrates that many hospitals, schools, and social helps organizations were founded by “next world” thinkers. Their faith is practical and down-to-earth while practicing heavenly love and grace in the here-and-now.
How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds. (James 2:18)
