Be a practitioner
Simply saying something isn't enough; action is required.
One of the dangers of being a verbal processor like myself is that if you are not careful who you talk to, you will easily seem like a fool because of your lack of follow-through.
Hypocrites, we call them, those who say one thing and do the opposite or do nothing at all.
Politicians are among their ranks, promising to lower taxes or fix the housing crisis or border issue, and then not delivering is a great way to lose popularity.
This is basic human interaction; there seem to be only two ways out of this scenario: either you keep your mouth shut or you do everything you say. In other words, you have to be a practitioner.
Waste no time arguing what a good person should be. be one. Marcus Aurelius
As a generation, we like to babel; we talk about the good old days; we discuss politics to no end; we squabble over who should be fighting in what war; churches split over theology and doctrinal statements; we seem to have an addiction to words on paper or screens rather than actions; we are all like water, taking the easier route. for it is far easier to say than to do.
It is impossibly easy for someone to say much and do nothing, harder yet to say nothing and do nothing, much harder yet to say what you will do and to do it, and then there are those who say nothing at all and simply do what is needed to be done.
Wanting to be valued based on what you have said without any follow-through is a minimal investment strategy and requires very little. but to act properly in the world at all times is the hardest thing one can do.
Among the Christian circles in which I have spent much time, there is abundant talk about how to properly be a Christian, about what the correct interpretation of the Bible is, and about the correct theology. This seems futile to me, and this overabundance of Christians sharing their opinions is why I believe we are viewed by many as hypocrites. True doctrine is not discussed; it is lived and acted out live and in the world.
Preach the gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words.
