Ours is an active faith. It is made alive and appealing only when our nouns turn into verbs. Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Nouns are cheap, the worth of something is found in verbs. (In case you aren't getting it because it's a Monday morning that's a play on the phrase 'talk is cheap'...light bulb moment right?!?) Faith is unappealing, unattractive, dull, and pretty useless unless it is turned from a noun into a verb. I love today's thought by DeMoss. It immediately appealed to me when I read it.
Faith isn't supposed to just sit on the sidelines of life (or in the pews of a church) and proclaim it is faith. It is meant to go out and live loudly among the world in which we reside. Faith is action, not passivity. Faith has arms and legs, hands and feet, a beating heart, eyes that see, ears that hear, a mouth to speak and sing. Faith is very active, it isn't a noun but it is a verb.
How's your faith? Is is a noun or a verb? If it's a noun you can turn that around, just start moving. If it is a verb keep it up! We are appealing as we live out our faith loudly.
