Is it possible (or a good idea) to jointly pursue such common purposes even if you have very different theological goals? http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%2011:6&version=NIV 2009-10-02T09:57:41-05:00 God rewards those who serve Him--but those rewards are not always obvious or immediate, at least from a human perspective. We're called to have faith that our service to God is both worthwhile and noticed by Him. We should please Him. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%201:22&version=KJV 2009-09-27T19:57:42-05:00 It's not enough just to listen to, or even memorize, Scripture. What's important is that we actually do what it says, and become "doers" of the Word. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%202:14-26&version=NIV 2009-09-20T19:56:59-05:00 This passage describes the relationship between faith and good works. Good works aren't enough to save us, but it's impossible to imagine somebody who truly has faith in Christ who does not perform good works. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/gods-gerbils-5784 2009-09-10T10:48:33-05:00 Basically, there are three reasons people do Christian things: duty, recognition, or love. And the first two don't count. Maybe you've been busy for God mostly out of a sense of duty. That's why you're easily frustrated, often depleted, and way too stressed. It's a spiritual gerbil wheel, isn't it? You're Martha, fulfilling all your responsibilities, but you're neglecting your relationship with Jesus. And the relationship matters way more to Jesus than the responsibilities.
