Claims Without Conduct

Cause and effect, faith and works, reality and proof, talk and action, truth or lies. Have you ever thought about how everything has a cause and effect?

I heard someone say lately...Christians talk about Jesus being the answer, they try to get you to believe in God, they even want you to go to church with them, but their lives don't show any true change or evidence they really believe in this Jesus they profess. They profess to trust God, but cling tightly to the world and its values. Their lives contradict the very Gospel they preach.

We don't realize sometimes the things we do and say...people are watching us, they are hungry to see a difference in our lives. It reminds me of the song...

Your life is the only Bible that some people are going to read,
Even when you are not aware, you're always planting seed,
People everywhere have their eyes on you,
To see if what you preach is what you do.

Anyway it goes something like that. I guess you could say seeing is believing, as the saying goes, "I don't hear what you say, I see what you do."

I pray today..."Lord help me to represent you, because when you are lifted up, you draw all people to you."
