Stoke Up Your Spiritual Fire

Ben Foust

2 Timothy 1:1-7

Paul directs young Timothy not to start a new spiritual fire but to kindle afresh the fire he already has. It hasn't gone out; it merely needs to be stoked back up to a roaring blaze. It doesn't need something new, just more of what fed the fire in the first place. He needs to return to the basics of his faith. A little more time in the Word, in prayer, in fellowship with God's people will go a long way in rekindling smoldering embers.

True Faith vs. Mental Assent

Ryan Lowery

James 2:14-26

James argues that faith without works is a dead faith. Faith and works are not enemies, but they are united. Although we are not saved by works, we do demonstrate the authenticity of our faith by our works. Saving faith is an invisible transaction between God and the receiver of His grace. Works are the visible response to the salvation received. Works demonstrate to a watching word that our faith is genuine and inspires others to learn more about this God we follow.

Compassion Amidst Crisis

Conrad Hilario

Luke 5:12-15

A recent article highlights the historical tendency of people to exhibit heartless cruelty and self-preservation during epidemics. By contrast, Jesus calls his followers to rise above this self-protectiveness and cruelty found in past pandemics. In a day when most people in America associate Christianity with hypocrisy, corruption, and hatred, maybe believers' selfless response to this epidemic will change people's perception of the church and ultimately Christ.
