A FAITH THAT IS OVERFLOWING

(These One A Days are added to each new day)

During the most productive period of his life the preacher pastor John Wesley traveled on horseback 5,000 miles a years, preached fifteen sermons a week and looked every hostile and petty man square in the face and did not flinch. In his wide journeying, he carried a Bible, a change of linen, and the implements of his simple diet. So deep was his devotion, so complete his dedication and consecration, that it has been movingly said of him, “When at length he came to die, he left only a knife, a fork, two spoons… and the Methodist Church.”

William James put it well, “Give yourself to something that will outlast you.” And a Christian looked at me the other day and said, “I’ve stopped passing the buck and started bucking the line.”

Which is why it is worth our while to ask ourselves some questions. When people hear us speak, or watch our actions, let there be no doubt in their minds that we believe in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. Let there be no doubt for all who observe our lives that we believe that happiness is not a thing of matter, but of mind; not a hillside full of gold, but a heart full of God.

“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:17
