Faith is Something We Do Faith is more than something you just feel. Many people confuse emotions and feelings with faith. They come to church and theyre moved emotionally, theyre inspired, and theyre stimulated. But that doesnt mean theyre walking in faith. The Bible says faith is something we do, not just what we feel. In other words, faith is not mere sentimentality. Lets say I go out on the street and I see someone who is homeless and destitute. I see that person is hungry, cold, in need of clothing and shelter. Would I be showing great faith if I walked up and said, Cheer up! Dont worry, be happy! Feel good! Put on a happy face? It doesnt take much faith to do that. Faith carries compassion. Faith says, Ill do anything I can to stop your hurt. Throughout the New Testament, the witnesses say Jesus was moved with compassion for people. Jesus showed us that faith is practical. When we see a need, we do something about it. We dont just toss out a quick - Well, Ill pray for you. The Bible says we show our faith by what we do. Rick Warren
