Good day Templar family
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear—Psalm 118:6
“What’s the bold move?” It’s a question that should be asked often, in one form or another, when we gather in Christian community. It’s a question that challenges us to press our intellectual understanding of the truth of our King, Jesus Christ, into clear, practical action. It dares us to form Gospel words into living, breathing reality.

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear—Psalm 118:6
“What’s the bold move?” It’s a question that should be asked often, in one form or another, when we gather in Christian community. It’s a question that challenges us to press our intellectual understanding of the truth of our King, Jesus Christ, into clear, practical action. It dares us to form Gospel words into living, breathing reality.
“What good is it, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? . . . Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works” ( James 2:14,)
When we move boldly in faith it demonstrates—with our actions, with our lives—that we do indeed trust Jesus. It confirms that we’ll actually live our lives like we trust him. Maybe it’s finally deciding to draw clear work/home boundaries, despite ambition or difficulty; maybe it’s confessing some sin, despite embarrassment or awkwardness; maybe it’s giving money or time, despite greed or inconvenience; maybe it’s sharing our faith, despite discomfort or fear; or maybe it’s something else entirely. For each of us, there comes a time when we just must take action, must take risk. There comes a time when our faith mandates that action and risk are the only real options. And that’s when things begin to happen—big, breathtaking things—not because we seek them out necessarily, but because they’re the byproduct of lives that reflect faith.
How might you live out your faith with a bold move? Choose something simple, near-term (i.e., this week), and achievable. If you’re in community with others (and you should be), formulate your bold moves together, customized to each individual and circumstance. Then, keep one anothers accountable for executing them. This is one way communities of men and woman must
work.
Have a blessed Tuesday
