Passing affections easily produce words; and words are cheap; and godliness is more easily feigned in words than in actions. Christian practice is a costly, laborious thing.
Jonathan Edwards, A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections
In the arena
Words are cheap. Especially the ones you type into a glowing rectangle for strangers to see.
Think about your social media from this past week. The posts, the comments, and the hot takes. Now think about what you actually did. Did your hands match your mouth? Did you serve anyone, sacrifice anything, or build something that cost you?
If you talked about loving your neighbor, go knock on a door. James 1:22 says to be doers of the word, not hearers only. And not posters only, either.
