One aspect of becoming a Christian is learning the language. They speak frequently regarding prayer, Bible reading, fellowship, and faith. Once someone knows several words and phrases, they are able to converse with other believers and feel like part of the group.

If a person is not careful, they can start talking ABOUT things more than they actually do them.

Some believers I know can spend a long time talking about the power of prayer and all the things that they need to pray for. And never pray.

Some believers can spend hours talking about the truth of the Bible and why it is such an essential book to a believer. And never read more than a verse or two.

Some believers will have long conversations about the importance of fellowship in the Church. And yet they do not place a high value on its gathering.

Some believers are able to expound about the need for discipleship. And never disciple anyone.

There is this trap of being skilled at talking ABOUT the things of faith while never actually doing them. The challenge for every Christian is to spend more time doing the things of God than talking about them.
