We often hear that “actions speak louder than words.” Are you intentional in living out the gospel message? It is a sad commentary on the Pastors, teachers, and leaders of our day when we have to say to an individual, “You should do what the Word says not what the messenger of the Word does.” That is what Jesus was saying to the multitude and His disciples about the teachers of His time. Individuals often excuse themselves for not going to church by saying there are too many hypocrites in the church. Our intention should be to live a life pleasing and acceptable to God and never to allow our behavior to be a stumbling block to others.
