Actions Speak

Actions speak louder than words

One thing I have learned over the past year is that actions speak louder than words. I had a dear friend tell me that Actions speak louder than words. We are all so good at saying what we are going to do but do we show with actions? I know I have done this to people that I love. I can tell you it’s not a good thing to do. Being in sales one of the things I have learned is when you tell clients you’re going to do something they want to see actions and if they don’t they will not trust you or your word. The thing I have thought about is why can we do this at our jobs but can’t do it with friends and Family? Sometimes we have to learn the hard way from this.

This brings me to Romans 14:23 “If the way you live isn’t consistent with what you believe, then its wrong” As Christians, we must do our best to ensure that or actions are accurate reflections of our beliefs. Our theology must be demonstrated, not only by words but, more importantly, by our actions. In short, we should practical believers, quick to act whenever we see an opportunity to serve God. Are you the kind of practical Christian man who is willing to dig in and do what needs to be done when it needs to be done> If so, congratulations: God acknowledges your service and blesses it. But if you find yourself more interested in the fine points of theology than in needs of your neighbors, it’s time to rearrange your priorities. God needs believers who are willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work for him. I know I am not the one who should be writing this because I have not lived the life that called me to be over the past year. I have lived not by actions but by words. By living just by words are not good enough you have to live by actions. So I ask you to live by actions not by words, I don’t want you to go through losing friends and family.
