But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. James 2:18
“A discerning solitary will have no need of words, because he expresses words by deeds.”
John Climacus (6th century monk) in The Ladder of Divine Ascent, translated by Archimandrite Lazarus Moore (Harper & Brothers, 1959) 111.
I have had a great week with Kingdom Capital Fund in South Dakota. Heading home to Colorado this afternoon.
Over the course of this week, I have interfaced with some really great people who have chosen to shift their focus from building wealth to building God’s kingdom.
In the words of Climacus, they are like discerning solitary people who have no need of words because they express words with deeds. But God is calling them to move to KCF 2.0.
God wants them to stretch to new levels of living, giving, serving, and loving. He wants that for all of us. What would that look like in your life?
Would people say that you have no need of words and that you express your faith with generous deeds?
