Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.
Soul of the Fire by Terry Goodkind. page 205
This concept has been on my heart alot lately as I consider how much I condemn and judge others. I realize I need to sharpening other Christians in truth, but I am commanded not to judge them or non-christians and it is better for my personal health/spirit/heart/soul when I give mercy instead of condemnation. There is one judge and lawgiver and I am not He.
I need to be more like Christ. Juan 8. Neither do I condemn you.
I need to challenge people to leave their lives of sin, to flee from evil and to do good! They need love and mercy, because when they are broken, alone, and desperate for help, they need to be fed by the Lord.
Right along the idea of putting your money where your mouth is. My deeds dictate the truth of who I am.
Your actions, not your feelings, speak the truth of your intent.
