Dwell Differently
If you were our friend, and if we could look you in the eyes and see your struggles and know you fully, and if we could only give you ONE thing—we'd give you God’s Word. There is more power and love and truth in one verse than in a thousand other words. So, let us help you memorize God's words in a simple, easy way. We hope you'll love listening in while we chat about what our verse means, why it matters, and how it intersects with our daily lives.
Dwell Differently
Do You Practice True Religion?
•
Natalie Abbott & Vera Schmitz
“Are the actions plugged into faith, or are they unplugged? What are we operating out of? Are we operating out of a duty to do these things because that's the right thing to do? Or are we plugged into faith and motivated by the love God has for us to do the things we're called to do?" — Vera Schmitz
What's the difference between false religiosity and true religion? That's the question that Natalie Abbott and Vera Schmitz, sisters and co-founders of Dwell Differently, are answering on today's episode. Find out how religion can be something that pleases God himself, something that reflects his character and the beauty of the gospel. They also talk about what threatens to pollute their faith, their own struggles against those temptations, and how loving the least of these keeps our hearts pure.
This month’s memory verse: "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." — James 1:27
