Your faith before God!

We looked at this verse in Sunday School Sunday, evaluate yourself before God this morning:



James 1:27

27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.



So when is the last time your helped out an orphan? Plenty of Foster kids out there needing a visit or some affection. When is the last time you stopped by to visit a widow or widower? We all know someone who is alone without husband or wife. Do we care? Then the last question, are you being stained by the world or staying true to the Word of God?



Tough questions with fairly easy answers if we are being true to our God. All three of the questions come down to a pretty simple conclusion....self or serve and obey God. Take my time to satisfy my own fleshly desires and use my time for self or use the time to help some body else and thus obey my Lord.



Folks proving our faith is really not that difficult, it's just we make it difficult because we are selfish with our time!!!!



You and I can change that...the question is do we love our Lord and others enough to do so?
