Title: Quote for the Day: Through Your Works Post by: Shin on October 07, 2010, 03:11:10 PM 'Philosophize through your works about man's will and God's retribution. For your words are only as wise and as profitable as your works.'
St. Mark the Ascetic Title: Re: Quote for the Day: Through Your Works Post by: Shin on October 07, 2010, 03:12:35 PM This reminds me of another quote about a man whose words are a clear running stream, helping others, but who fails to act upon those words and so, is like a stream which nourishes many but cannot purify itself.
Works over words! But good words and good conversation can motivate us the better to good works! :D Title: Re: Quote for the Day: Through Your Works Post by: Bailey2 on October 07, 2010, 06:22:13 PM There is a scripture passage on this. Something like: you show me your faith and I'll show you my faith and works ??? I think it is in James?

Something like: you show me your faith and I'll show you my faith and works ??? I think it is in James? ....... Show me thy faith without works, and I from my works will show thee my faith. St. James 2:18 Not an expert of any kind, just have a concordance. ;D Title: Re: Quote for the Day: Through Your Works Post by: Shin on October 07, 2010, 06:36:24 PM And what a telling passage it is too!
Title: Re: Quote for the Day: Through Your Works Post by: Brigid on October 07, 2010, 06:50:52 PM What does he mean by saying, "Philosophize through your works........" Is that like the gargoyles on old churches?
