Time & Talent Interests
According to Gods Word, there is an intimate connection between faith and life. The kind of life we live flows from the faith that lives in our hearts. As we grow and mature in what God wills for our lives, we learn better to love our neighbor.
Faith is a vibrant and living thing. According to Martin Luther, faith is dynamic. It expresses itself in words and actions. Faith expresses itself in love. Good works never save, but true faith never exists without them.
