Practice What You Preach

Good Morning Everyone,

As people of faith, when we say that we are, we are
declaring to the world, we not only know God, but
live for Him and trust Him.

My question to you today, is do you practice what
you preach?

I often hear people arguing over the doctrine
of works versus faith. Yet the very people who spend
the most time discussing it, rarely are the ones
out doing the works, they just enjoy arguing.

To what profit?

The profit should be for the kingdom of God. What does
God want from us? He wants those who preach and teach
the gospel to live of it. He wants honest, trustworthy people
who have surrendered their will to Him, and seek each morning
what HE would have them do.

He wants us to tell everyone we meet that He sent his only
begotten son to die for our sins. And that to receive this
gift of salvation we must repent of those sins, walk away
from them (showing true repentance) and seek to be His
disciple daily.

How do we do this? We read his word, we let it seep into our
spirit, take root and grow so that when we talk to people we
can give a sound reason of why we believe what we believe.

So, my precious friend, how does your life line up with this today?
Have you spent time in prayer this week? How long? 5 minutes?
Did you ask Him for help or spend time praising Him and talking
to Him too? Did you open your Bible and seek the precious
wisdom and comfort and strength found within its pages?

My dear friend, don't neglect your spiritual life, 100 years from
now, nothing you have done will be remembered or stand, except
what you did for God. Makes it so clear that our life is a investment.

We must keep this in mind, and truly walk the walk that Christ
talked about, and speak the words that are pleasing to Him,
that profit his kingdom, for his glory, and bring his gospel to
the world around us, not only in words, but by the way we
act and speak.

Love always

PS. When you say you trust God...act like you really believe it.
Otherwise, why would anyone want your faith? Great question isn't it?
It is God who is faithful, not us for sure. Seek that which is above
not that which is earthly.

Only one life will soon be past,
Only what is done for Christ will last.

So I say that we have courage. We really want to be away
from this body and be home with the Lord. Our only goal
is to please God whether we live here or there, because we
must all stand before Christ to be judged. Each of us will receive
what we should get -- good or bad -- for the things we did in this
earthly body.
2 Corinthians 5:8-10

"Practice What You Preach"

You can know all the scriptures,
Have all the bibles you can reach,
But when push comes to shove
Do you practice what you preach?

Anyone can go to church
And collapse on the floor,
But when Judgment Day comes
Will you be at Heaven's door?

You can have the biggest of fits
And say the Holy ghost passed through,
But is that really reflected
In the things you do?

You can yell far and wide
Proclaiming your love for Christ,
But what have you given him
When for you He gave his life?

You can lecture others
About the wrong things they do,
But before you look at others
You need to look at you.

You can damn all the sinners
Tell them they're headed south,
But what have you done lately
Besides run your mouth?

You can call yourself a Christian
Spend all your days at church,
But while you are praising His name,
Have you been doing the Lord's work?

You can boast of good deeds
To show us the spirit is within
But why show it to us?
You should show it to Him!

You can memorize the bible
Know it from front to back,
But you don't use it to regulate others
Regulate how you act!

Take a good look at yourself
Not at what others do,
Because when He comes to get his children ...
Will He be coming for you too?
