What do you do when you are in the flames, when life punches you in the face, when trials and difficult times come– How do you react? How does your faith hold strong or does it melt down? It is relatively easy to counterfeit our faith, but in the flames of trials our true faith is revealed, and it is far less how we act and much more how we react that reveals how strong or weak our faith is. What if God allows us and actually wants our faith to melt down as part of the process to grow? What if God allows it because he loves us too much to let us stay the same?

When we learn to control our words by listening to the cues and motions of our body, it helps us show our authentic faith.

Our faith should produce works, but it's not that simple. We can't DO for God, unless we first learn to BE with God.

So often we place value on people, wealth, work, status, and material items– but it's really God– He is our true treasure. It's never too late to start a relationship with Jesus, nor is it too late to hit the reset button on your relationship with Him. He is waiting for you with love and forgiveness.

Action is the heartbeat of authentic faith in Jesus.
