Elizabeth: I don't think I knew that I was supposed to DO anything until you started this course. I guess that sounds pretty bad, pretty stupid, for someone that considers herself as trying to be spiritual, but I didn't. I mean, I'm glad that I have a sort of a plan now, or something. I feel that I do.

TOMAS: I remind you that even the [[Bible]] has impressed people with the phrase "Faith without works is dead" [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_James#James_II] and I suppose I have simply taken that adage a degree further, but it is a natural off-shoot of [[sonship]] that you want to be of [[service]]. As a result of knowing [[the Father]] you want to [[share]] Him with others. This is a natural result of a true, real, personal, [[spiritual]] [[experience]].

In an [[intellectual]] and [[academic]] [[appreciation]] of [[theology]] and [[religion]], it lacks that driving [[power]]. It may provide an intellectual [[understanding]], but it lacks the driving power that the living [[truth]] compels by its very [[nature]]. This is Living Love. It is a [[dynamic]] way of life. It is not just words and [[comprehensions]], but actual [[doing]], yes.
