Get Off Your Donkey and Get In the Hole
The Danger of Passive Faith
Your title, your knowledge, or your church attendance don't matter if they don't translate into action.
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."
James 1:22
The Call to Active Service
"Go and do likewise"
"Go and feel sympathy"
"Go and pray about it."
"Go and do."
Faith without works is dead.
Getting Your Hands Dirty - Get in the Hole
It means we need to identify our "donkeys"
Your donkey might be your time.
Your donkey might be your money.
Your donkey might be your skills.
Your donkey might be your comfort zone.
It's not about doing everything. It's about doing something.
Start where you are, with what you have. Do what you can.
Jesus is calling us to get off our donkey and get in the hole!
Like the Samaritan, get off your donkey, get in the hole and get to work.
