Be informed. Be challenged. Be inspired.

WORDS AND ACTIONS

We talk about words and action in the West. Belief and behaviour. We note that there is a great gulf between most people’s words and their actions.

Talking the talk (but are we walking the walk?) – how do our words match our behaviour? PICTURE: Wade Austin Ellis/Unsplash.

We believe one thing – and behave in another quite different way. Not all cultures are like this. Many Indigenous cultures have no separation between what you say and what you do.

Hebrew is the same. In the Hebrew Bible God definitely does not have this separation. When God speaks, things happen: “Let there be light!”

There is not discord between God’s words and His works. It took humans to separate word and works, beliefs and behaviour! We want to look good so we are quick to say the right things. We’re not so quick to do the right things.  

How do your words and works stack up? Can people trust what you say?

Paul Clark’s musings can be heard on radio across Australia and at atthetop.org.au.
