Needs
14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? 15 Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, 16 and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? 17 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
James 2:14-17 NLT
Faith without works is dead! In this particular example James highlights giving to meet other's needs. As a Christian we ought to seek to help when it's within our ability; even if it's inconvenient. The person in this passage seemed to have seen the need, but kept it moving. Let's not just believe they will get food and clothing when we can provide it. I've been guilty of this often. However, as I write these blogs the Lord has definitely been challenging me to do better!!
