It takes more than talk to be a good Christian.

Some people have all this good stuff coming out of their mouth but you just don't see it in their life.

The thing is;

What we do speaks so loudly that no one, not even God, can hear what we say.

In other words:

It's more important to walk the walk than it is to just talk the talk.

Jesus said on the last day there will be those who will say,'Lord! Lord! I spoke of You and cast out demons in Your Name!'

And I will answer them and say I Never Knew You.

Show me how to pray, Lord, To communicate with You; To bring to You my wants and needs, But first my praises too. Teach me how to praise You. Give me the words to say; To say how much You mean to me, Teach me how to pray. I want to say I love You, How grateful that I am, For all that You have done for me, For helping me to stand. Without Your help I'm nothing, Lord. 'Thout You where would I be. It's You who floats my tiny boat, Upon life's stormy sea; But words aren't all that's needed, To pay You what You're due. Teach me how to live my life, In subjection just to You. Let my life style be my prayer. Give me strength and courage too, The wisdom to know right from wrong, Firm confidence in You. Let my life give You all glory. Help me to show the stuff, That it takes to serve You well, For mere words aren't enough.
