"Praxes" from the Greek "to do" is the plural of "Praxis". According to dictionary.reference.com it literary means to do or put into action. One of the foundational truths of Jesus' ministry is "to do", to be doers and not just solely adherents to the Word: practicing and applying the faith in our life, whether a kind word, a friendly greeting or a moment of selfless sacrifice, our walk with the living Word is a reflection of the universal and eternal love our God has through the sacrificial lamb of His Son. It is our hope and belief that in Christ this website will help inspire and enable those seeking and searching to be enlightened and motivated into the application of their faith in their daily lives. There is only one road to eternal peace and happiness. It begins with a Carpenter's son on the road to Jerusalem over two thousand years ago whose message of hope, love and forgiveness remain at the core of the eternal truth as to who we are, where we're going and where we'll eventually end up. Not too long ago, there was a book that came out supporting this Christian confessional of applied faith along with personal action by Pastor Rick Warren whom we all know. The book in question, "The Purpose Driven Life", has become a runaway best seller. Let then this website also be an inspirational purpose driven life through God's grace and divine mercy a runaway best healer. James 2:14-26 NKJV 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Footnotes:
A final word, as you may have gathered, the leniency toward the Greek is by no means accidental but purposeful. Although consideration was weighed into the practicality of reporting on the faith of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the doctrinal and theological precepts of our brethren in the Catholic and Protestantdenomination, at the heart of the cross road that connects us to the heavenly realm of our Lord is his message. However, Orthodoxy the vehicle of faith of the early Christian believer in the first millennium, has and remains the purest channel, without change, alteration and reinterpretation, the best method afforded to us in communicating God's eternal message of reconciliation and salvation.
"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." Anne Isabella Ritchie (19th Christian Century Author) Well there you have it. Through Blogs, Social Media and Multi-Media presentations from established sources we intend to curate and digest information, reporting on the practical application of the Christian faith and the results or should we say miracles that are happening often overlooked as a result of the zeal to preach rather than to teach through application the way toward eternal salvation.
