Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.”
(James 2:20-22)

Works without faith is dead, Jesus.

But so is faith without works.

I need both.

Help me, Father!

Oh, how I need both!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…not by works…”
(Ephesians 2:9)

The lazy person is thrilled to hear this, Jesus!

You save us because we believe in You
not because of anything we do to earn heaven.

(Of course, lazy people need to remember

that faith without works is dead.)

Ironically, though, it’s the faithful, dependable, diligent person

who struggles most when they hear
that even their greatest achievements
aren’t even close to enough.

What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but Your blood, my Jesus.
