The scripture “Faith without work is dead” is not a battle cry against grace. It is only stating the total impossibility of a person who proclaims a connection to God to not bear His character – love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, meekness, temperance, faithfulness and righteousness. Character traits that when we become “one with God” – also instantly destroy the emotional pain in our lives.
To state one’s connection to God without these characteristics dominating a life is like someone saying they jumped into a pool but never got wet. And when asked about the lack of evidence of being in the pool, and of not being wet – they reply “oh that’s a process”.

Hello Paul – Keep connected to us. There are many pages of teaching that can help you on this website under “Media”. If you are on Facebook, connect to “Rod Pruitt” as he posts a thought for the day. Blessings to you and everyone in Africa. We miss the beautiful hearts of the people there. Stay close to the heart of God. – Kathy Pruitt
