Subject: The Essence of True Faith: Living Beyond Words Reflecting on Matthew 7:21-23, we're reminded that genuine faith is not just about what we say or the outward signs of piety we display. It's about aligning our hearts and actions with God's will. It challenges us to look beyond the surface, to ensure our faith is not merely lip service but a true, living connection with God. This passage urges us to examine our actions and motivations, to live authentically in our relationship with the Divine. It's a call to authentic discipleship, where our faith is reflected not just in our words but in our willingness to do God’s will, to love deeply, and to serve sincerely. Let us strive to be genuine followers of Christ, whose lives bear the fruit of true obedience and heartfelt devotion. Ptr Steven G. Lee (April 10, 2024)
