Practical Faith

Faith is too often not regarded as something practical. It it described as mystical, spiritual, holy, etc. but never practical. I think this is unfortunate. What is more practical than living in the knowledge that the world is fading, that we are dust and will return to dust? Living with this knowledge what could be more practical than turning to embrace our Creator with love and eternity in our hearts?

"A man is no fool to give up what he can never keep to gain that which he can never lose"
-Jim Eliot, missionary/martyr
