Jim's Devotional - October 13th

October 13th

William Booth was an English Methodist preacher who, along with his wife, Catherine, founded the Salvation Army and became its first General. The Christian movement with a quasi-military structure and government founded in 1865 has spread from London to many parts of the world.

A quote from William Booth, “Faith and works should travel side by side, step answering to step, like the legs of men walking. First faith, and then works; and then faith again, and then works again until you can scarcely distinguish which is the one and which is the other. James 2:17, “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”

Faith always has a corresponding action. Hebrews 11—"By faith Abel offered...”, “By faith Noah,
...prepared an ark...”, “By faith Abraham obeyed...”, “By faith Abraham... offered up Isaac.” You get the point.
