Love without action is irrelevant, while action without love is meaningless...combine the two, what you can achieve is almost limitless.

Without devotion, action and knowledge are cold and dry and many even become shackles.

How you live your life is a testimony of what you believe about God.

Our faith works because we love, and we love because he has first loved us. Our faith is then emboldened by this responsive love; we've been loved, we've been assured of our justification; our Father speaks of our sanctification as if it had already occurred. By faith, then, we can courageously pursue growth into our true identity.

Surely the principles of Christianity lead to action as well as meditation.

It's not what you do, but how much love you put into it that matters.

When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendor of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion—its message becomes meaningless.

Religion declined not because it was refuted, but because it became irrelevant, dull, oppressive, insipid.

A faith that does not result in activity of any kind is a dead faith; it is empty, worthless, insincere.

Spirituality is inseparable from theology. Indeed, it could be defined as the living out of theology.

You have to look at what a person does with his life. Anyone can say that hes a Christian, but you look at how they live.

Love is no ingredient in a merely speculative faith, but it is the life and soul of a practical faith.
