Faith is Belief in Action

One of the most interesting new technological advancements to me has been the “live photo” you can take with your phone. Not interesting because I’m amazed by it. More interesting because for the life of me I don’t know why we would want it. In all of my live photos, it just shows me how imperfect that perfect moment really was. It usually captures my kids slapping each other out of the way right before or after that brief instant I got of them all smiling at the same time.

Our walk with God is really no different. On the very first episode of this I talked about how we all like to be our perfect selves on Sunday morning, but that isn’t the real us. I wish my faith was as solid as this Podcast might portray it, but reality is I have an edit button and Ben gently redirecting me like the gutter guards at a bowling alley. Put that faith in motion and it gets ugly a lot of times.

No one is immune to this because having faith isn’t a snapshot of one moment in time. It’s an active walk down a path with more twists, turns and mistakes than you thought you were capable of.

But it’s also how God shows His love and reminds us that He didn’t call us because of our perfection. He called us so we could experience His.
