Be ye doers of the word, and not
hearers only, deceiving your own selves. (James 1:22)
A man may preach with the
eloquence of an angel, but if he don’t live what he preaches, and act out in
his home and his business what he professes, his testimony goes for naught, and
the people say it is all hypocrisy, it is all a sham. Words are very
empty if there is nothing back of them. Your testimony is poor and worthless if
there is not a record back of it consistent with what you profess.
What we need is to pray to God
to lift us up out of this low, cold, formal state that we have been living in,
that we may live in the atmosphere of God continually, and that the Lord may lift
upon us the light of His countenance, and that we may shine in this world,
reflecting His grace and glory.
