Practice and Unbelief



"What we believe does affect the way we live, and the way we live does affect what we believe. We must live up to the standard our our convictions, or sooner or later our convictions will drop down to the standard of our life. Unbelief may be the punishment of insincere practice. Belief in a fact is the foundation of any strong and consistent action, and the opposite is the cause of many drifting, irresolute lives."

-Father Andrew, Meditations, pg. 3
