One challenge in the Christian life is to move beyond viewing the Church merely as a place for the transmission of information.

It is easy to sit in a group of people and share all the knowledge of the Bible we have acquired over the years. We can explain stories in detail, share practical thoughts, and encourage one another without actually doing anything.

It is not enough for believers to talk about discipleship. We need to disciple people. Spiritual maturity is not telling people they need to serve the Lord. It is about doing a ministry. Instructions on loving our neighbor are meaningless if you have no contact with your neighbor.

The Christian faith is not about talking the talk. It is about walking the walk.
