I Met the Strangest Man on the Way to Church

“A righteous man who walks in his integrity - How blessed are his sons after him.” Proverbs 20:7

He said he believed in the Bible, but he never reads it.
He said he thought well of the church of which he is a member, but he never attends.
He said a man should be honest with God in money matters, but he never tithes.
He said the younger generation needs the Lord, but he isn’t leading them in that direction.
He said the church needs dedicated Christian members, but he isn’t one.
He said the church should do more in ministering to people, but he doesn’t help.
He is critical of some of the workers, but he never works.
He is critical of the way the church is “run,” but he never participates.
He says the Lord is surely coming, but he lives as though the Lord will never return.
He says prayer will change things, but he never prays.
He was a strange man, indeed.

I for one, would much rather be around people who walk their talk, than people who just talk.
Are you a walker or a talker?
