"The essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds..."
-- Baha'u'llah
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built a house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
-- Luke 6:47-49
"By faith is meant, first, conscious knowledge, and second, the practice of good deeds."
-- Abdu'l Baha

Hmm I dont think i've blogged about it - but we might have talked about this at some point. Anyway, I will try and post some thoughts on it sometime today :) We actually had discussed this very quote last wednesday in our study circle in talking about faith...
I love this parable from Luke about building your faith on the bedrock of God.
