Just me trying to be honest with God.

”Consider this remarkable fact: In the Sermon on the Mount, there is not a single word about what to believe, only words about what to do and how to be.” Robin R. Meyers

 I am not sure that I completely agree with Mr. Meyer's summary, but certainly it is unhealthy to put emphasis only on what a person believes rather than what they do. Faith and works go hand in hand. Too many Christians measure spiritual health on doctrinal soundness, rather than behavioral soundness. Christian faith is more an active trust expressing itself in love, than holding to a system of beliefs.
