Episode Description
Demonstration moves faith beyond a crisis of inaction. Am I making a demonstration of my faith in the face of doubt? Am I dominated by unbelief nor doubt? Look at these questions with us.
Chuck Templeton & Billy Graham, each Christian communicators, intersected in the middle of the 20th Century. Their story lends some potential insights to the question of mere faith or vibrant demonstration. The tendency to oversimplify life with God as going to church and a certainty about all the BIG questions - rather than daily demonstrations of love - muddles, clouds, and drains the souls of people who care about the stuff God cares about.
Faith is not lived without a “demonstration” to change the conditions of others for the better. Life is not simply strong convictions of beliefs, but action producing vibrant faith.
