from this morning's study.
True religion.
For an example check out Acts 3: 1-10.
Peter and John are headed to the temple to pray like they do all the time, and there they see a crippled man begging by the gate. They stop and look the man in the face and say, I don't have any money, but I will share what I do have - Jesus. Peter puts out his hand in faith, and the crippled man got up and walked.
Have you ever noticed how hard it can be to look right into the face of someone who desperately needs your help?
Why is that?
Well today, as I really looked at this scripture I realized, that I have a hard time looking into the face of desperation because I am afraid of what Jesus might ask me to do when I acknowledge the need.
True religion = looking it in the face and being ready and willing to act out of uncompromising faith.
What are you avoiding because you are afraid?
