Faith without works is dead. Works without faith is conceited. I often find my self penduluming between these two extremes. For example, when I’m fundraising I’ll go for a couple of weeks working hard and neglecting my walk with God and my family. Then I’ll swing into working on relationships and totally neglect working with my fundraising for a few weeks. I don’t like this aspect of me, but I really need it fixed now, so that the $3000 I need before the 16th gets in.
The closest way I can think of describing this feeling is a Backseat Christian, or a Christian who let’s the others drive his life and has no input at all into his journey. He doesn’t look for what God wants him to do, he doesn’t pull put the stops to get there, no works, no faith, just laziness.
I’m now going to try doing both. Please help me out with prayers, funds, or just a kind word in the comments. I believe that the Lord will provide through you. Tell your friends, share the link, because if we have faith, we need to back it up with words. I know that God will use me in ways that I can’t believe, and he’ll do it for you if you let him. Let’s be more than Backseat Christians.
