Do Something—High SchoolSample

Have you ever been around someone who was all talk, but no action? Like the kid on the other team who can talk total trash, but on the field, wasn’t all that great. Or maybe someone who bragged about how good they were in a certain subject, but when it came time for a test, totally bombed it. Words are powerful. That’s true, but they become less powerful when they stop lining up with actions. In other words, it’s just like this verse from Paul to the church in Corinth says: You can talk all you want (and sound really good doing it), but if it isn’t matched with love, with actions that back it up, it doesn’t mean a whole lot. None of us wants to be someone whose words lose power and influence because our actions communicate something different. Today, pay close attention to the words you say. Where do your actions match what you say? And where do they not? What can you begin doing today to make it so your words and your actions match, and love is present in both?
