Somebody says to you, reassuringly, “Don’t worry. Everything’s going to be all right.” And you respond, “Well, I sure hope so!” Your “hope” -whether it is casual or profound – is a transient thing. It probably has few, if any, deep roots to sustain it.
What do we mean when we say, “Behave your beliefs”? We are saying that the great truths of the Word of God that we cherish and believe must come alive in our everyday actions if we are to have any impact on the world around us.
