“We shouldn't rely on talk alone, we should rely on deed.”
When Dr. Schaeffer came and spoke for us, he presented this quote. I can't remember for sure if this was from Lincoln's speech or Pericles', and my notes aren't very clear on that, so if you remember please let me know. But when I heard this it reminded me of how we ought to be as Christians. We seem too often to be willing to believe what someone says instead of checking it against their actions. Also this can be bad for our witness if we talk one way but don't follow through with the way we live our lives. I want to offer this as a word of encouragement to all of us. Because we do claim to be Christ-followers, people will be watching our lives, and we want to make sure they see Him.
“By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
John 13:35 (NIV)
“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.”
1 John 3:18 (NLT)
P.S. I commented on Lucy's post "Assassins"
