James 1:22-27 "But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hears who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man shall be blessed in what he does.If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless. This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father, to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."
When we look into the mirror does love look back? Or, do we recognize the image of the hideous monster that has hidden in lies, secrets, deception, and corruption, as ourselves? Is it too horrible to see so that we give up on our Divine mission and submit to the ways of the world? If we can be brutally honest with ourselves then maybe, just maybe, we will be able to see a little truth...Peace I pray....To`na Wanagi

Thank You!!!! Does GOD want talkers or doers? What is it? Faith without action is dead faith.

You like to accuse others with your assumptions, just what do YOU do? You seem to rant here, showing a lack of real fruit, so what are your actions?

Truthseeker; I am an advocate in human services. In that capacity my responsibility is to serve those in need so I am a servant to the homeless, the mentally ill, prostitutes, addicts and alcoholics, domestic violence victims, children who have been abused, and every other child of God who might need a hand up or a crust of bread. I love the people I serve and do it joyfully. In fact tomorrow the Presbyterian church I belong to will be serving about 2,000 Thanksgiving meals to such as these. It is a beautiful thing to serve the children of the Creator.
I wasn't sure if your question was directed to me or to Dreamer. She asked why we keep returning to her and the simple answer is, "Because we love you and care for you and you are a child of God". God bless all of you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.........Peace........To`na Wanagi

It was to Dreamer, not to you. God bless YOU in your work!
