"If the way you live isn't consistent with what you believe, then it's wrong" -- Romans 14:23 / MSG
In describing our beliefs, our actions are far better descriptions than our words. Yet far too many of us spend more energy talking about our beliefs than living by them - with predictably poor results. As believers, we must beware: Our actions should always give credence to the changes that Christ can make in the lives of those who walk with Him.
Your beliefs shape your values, and your values shape your life. Is your life a clearly-crafted picture book of your creed? Are your actions always consistent with your beliefs? Are you willing to practice the philosophies that you preach? Hopefully so; otherwise, you'll be tormented by inconsistencies between your beliefs and your behavior.

Lord, it is so much easier to speak of the righteous life than it is to live it. Let us live righteously and let our actions be consistent with our beliefs. Let every step that we take reflect Your truth, and let us live a life that is worthy of Your Son.
