Modern Western culture has become a mixture of paganism and Christianity. We are a blend of both. We talk of God, but we often act as though we are atheists.

It seems to me there's an awful lot of trouble in the world that somehow wouldn't exist if all the people who sing such songs went and lived them out.

One of the real tests of Christian character is to be found in the lives we live from day to day.

Christians are commanded to love our neighbors, and the first step in doing this is to show a watching world that Christ reigns within us.

When you truly love someone, you want to please and honor them by the way you act. How you treat someone shows whether or not you really care about them.

People judge us not by what we think or believe, but by what we do—and when our lives don't measure up, we lose their respect and they conclude our faith isn't real.

Our generation has become well versed in Christian terminology but is remiss in the actual practice of Christ's principles and teachings. Hence, our greatest need today is not more Christianity but more true Christians.

The way we live often speaks far louder than our words.

Today our churches are filled, but how many are actually practicing Christianity in daily life?

When confronted with the world's problems, we Christians say automatically: "Christianity is the answer." But this is not true! It is the application of Christianity that is the answer.

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

We must do our best to answer—with gentleness and respect—any question we're asked, even if we think it isn't sincere or is only meant to put us on the spot. But the most important thing we can do is to show by our life and love that Jesus is real. Our actions often speak far louder than our words. Do others see Christ in you, both in what you say and in what you do?
