INTRODUCTION

 

We are to flee from doing the wrong thing. Instead, we are to pursue doing the right thing.

To do this is a key part of being a disciple. It means putting our faith into practice.

It is action-faith.

When we stop doing the wrong thing, we allow grace to have more of a foothold in our life. When we pursue the right thing, we are increasing our fruitfulness.

 

BIBLE VERSES

Quit praying and get moving! Forward, march! Sometimes the LORD God calls us to stop praying and start moving. It is as if fresh blessings are withheld from us until we take action.
