Faith Venture

Back in the days when I was a teacher, we would read some Biblical passage. Some would like to discuss various theologies or ideas.

I would like to ask, “So what?”

How does this apply to us when we leave the room?

I just finished a book of 141 sermons of John Wesley. I didn’t look up the exact quote, but he at times said the same thing. He was concerned that we stop with faith and forget the why. Why do we have faith? Well, to be able to perform service to our fellow humans. 

Like James said in his letter, faith without works is dead.

The next time you feel like arguing weird bits of theology, pause and think, “So what?”
