I have just started a Bible series. It stated, paraphrased, that God created Adam and Eve (and each of us) “in His image”, with the intention that they (we)would embody Him while building this world. That in His image they (we) would be salt and light. It wasn’t just a physical manifestation, but it was to be a living manifestation. Wow.

So, may I ask, how does active faith work for people who are not missionaries or pastors, but who live quiet lives in retirement?

I am retired and spend some hours during the week in volunteer work e.g. Meals on Wheels, charity stalls at markets etc. Just do something for the common good

Big question :) Read what pleases God — and do it from your heart. Things like keeping Shabbat and loving your neighbors. Many people think the things He loves have been done away with, and that’s where standing out gets a little hard. Love the question!

Nice to have someone that can have enough courage to call out much of Western Evangelicals. I've been blessed by your Holy Spirit led writings. Keep it coming Brother!!!

Amen! We do not follow the Law in order to be saved, but rather because we have been saved. We are free from the curse so that we can be obedient out of our love and gratitude to God for giving us a perfect redeemer who fulfilled the law perfectly on our behalf.
