What is the relationship between this pic:
and this one:
The answer is: Steve Jobs and God!
I was given recently as a gift Steve Jobs' biography that was published a few days later after his death the past month of October. It is fascinating! I still have a long ways to go as it is a thick book!
But I was struck by his early story where the biographer retells his experience with church and God.
He later on said: "The juice goes out of Christianity when it becomes too based on faith rather than on living like Jesus or seeing the world as Jesus saw it".
There are lots of parallelism with these words with what James repeats over and over in his epistle: "faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead "(Chapter 2:17).
This is a real challenge for us! May we never loose sight that our faith needs to be put in action! May we never be a stumbling block to those who search for God!
Questions to Ponder
- How does my faith reflect in actions?
- What will I do this week to reflect my faith in action?
