This is a book by Evelyn Christenson which is speaking to me at the moment. It follows my earlier thoughts about living with the sound off, and also talks about living and doing what we believe, rather than thinking, writing or talking about it.
If (as James tells us) faith which is not lived out in actions dies, what does this mean for our highly cerebral and literate society? For our intellectual faith? For our belief-based church? For my faith, which mainly takes place in my thoughts and writing? Where does all this thought-life find a way to express itself in action? How does God actually do things through me in the world? Speaking and witnessing is all very well, but am I God's hands in the world, as well as words?
