Showing Love thru Action

1 of the many reasons i enjoy reading newsletter from World Vision is to receive devotion from various WV staff. in the latest entry, the writer end his entry with James 2:18 - But someone will say," You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I show you my faith by what I do. (http://www.worldvision.org.sg/st_devotion.php#start)

today, someone threw me a question, "shouldnt it be compulsary that all Christians must be in church on good Fri?" ... it is more than a routine that Christians attend church service. this's not the only thing that differential a Christian from others. In fact, there are many non-Christians who visit church as well.

growing in Christ requires walking closely with God. i've know this for a long long while ... recently, i've learnt the importance to express love thru action. therefore, i went tomb cleaning with my family n help in all ways i can n not compromise the don'ts of Christians. as well as this good fri holiday, i choose to go away with colleagues. 

i'm grateful for those precious moments that i can spend quality time with my love ones. in the process of showing love thru action, sacrifice is inevitable n i entrust these onto the Lord, who will usually provide a way out for me.

I am that someone again, actually it does not really matter whether that a person is a Christian or not..it goes across the different types of religion..of how each regards their religion =)

thanks to 'someone' who has helped to ans the question but that cant be trade-off from roti prata. hahaha

it doesnt matter if the person is a Christian or not. what's more impt is to give the same reply, in a non-agressive manner, under all circumstances.

To anonymous someone :)
You are right in saying that it doesn't matter if the person asking that same question is a Christian or not cos I make that statement plainly because it is an analysation.

Furthermore, it is not unusual to see that question being posted to a Christian :)
