To Be Thankful Is …Written by Joyce C. Lock
~ To Be A Healer ~ To listen for one's heart, then meet them where they are by opening your heart to let love of God shine through ... to follow God's leading in meeting one's true need. ~ To Be A Warrior ~ For those overcome in spiritual battle, to take their place on battlefield as their intercessor. ~ To Be An Example ~ To not make judgement by what is seen or heard, neither by word or deed, but by Spirit of God, who looks upon heart ... as Spirit cannot lie. ~ To Be A Teacher ~

Surely, most everyone who's ever attended church has heard a preacher say, "Faith without works is dead," only to hear echoes in background chanting, "Uh-huh." He, then, proceeds with, "Show me your faith without your works and I'll show you your faith by my works, " quoting James 2:18 ... which gets Amen Corner going, "Amen! Right on! Hallelujah! Preach it brother!" Many sit there (feeling so superior), thinking they work in church all time, they've just been patted on back, and that this sermon is for someone else. Yet, I tend to wonder if anyone in congregation understood its meaning.
