Faith In Action

1:12 PM Posted by CANBlog

October is traditionally a very busy month at Cornerstone as churches around Tarrant County set out to put their Faith In Action. Some churches call it Faith In Action, others call it Great Day of Hope. We call it a blessing of volunteers able to accomplish big tasks in relatively brief amounts of time! This October, McKinney Memorial Bible Church sent nearly 60 volunteers over the course of two different Saturdays and helped us sort Christmas items, prepare coats for winter giveaways, landscape our men's housing facilities, and canvas our neighborhood with information. North Richland Hills Baptist Church also participated on Sunday, October 24, by sending a team of 90 volunteers to help spruce up our flower beds and organize our upcoming book sale. They also sent teams to three of our neighbors' homes for clean up and repairs. Christ Chapel Bible Church participated by taking pallets of shoes and linens that needed to be sorted and boxed to their church then returning them the following Monday. Each of these churches blessed us abundantly by their generous gifts of time and service.

"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, 'Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action- is dead." James 2:14-17
