Renewing Your Purpose | Ordinary Angels

DAY 1 OF 5

Faith...

Faith is not a concept, it is an action.

Have you heard the phrase "where the rubber meets the road?" Most likely you have. The phrase describes the point where the tires and the road touch to make the car move. A good connection is crucial for traction, control, and performance. The movie "Ordinary Angels" has a poignant illustration of the need for good traction in the blizzard scene.

The phrase highlights the importance of turning words into actions in practical ways. In a similar way, faith is where the "rubber meets the road" for a Christian. The movie "Ordinary Angels" tells the story of someone who puts their faith into action.

In the "Ordinary Angels" trailer, there are two key phrases: "Faith Can Make The Impossible Possible" and "Make a Difference, Change a Life." In this five-day plan, we will use these words to give ideas for how to put faith into action. We will explore how you can move from faith as a concept you read about into a lifestyle that you live.

The Bible talks often about having an active faith. We see it in the life of David when he took on Goliath. It is seen in the story of Abraham and Isaac. Jesus talked about it by giving faith illustrations like the mustard seed. And James said that faith without works is dead. How about you? Is the rubber meeting the road with your faith?
