Title: Walking the Talk
Series: Show and Tell (1 of 2)
Scripture: Matthew 23:1-12
Author: Dr. Joey Rodgers
When I was a kid, one of my favorite parts of school was show/tell! Do you remember show/tell? It was awesome. Of course, as a kid, I didn't have much of anything all that interesting to share, but I loved it anyway. But now, as an adult, who's traveled the world, I have some pretty cool artifacts to share.
For example - does anyone know what this is? It's a piece of history - it's a chunk of the Berlin Wall. I was fortunate to travel to Berlin about 6-weeks after the wall came down and I got this chunk of history.
Another item - (5) smooth stones I retrieved out of the creek bed in the Elah Valley in Israel where David likely chose the stones he used to slay Goliath.
I have (1) final item I've brought for show/tell today. Yes! It's a Cheese Puff. Cheese Puffs are like the greatest snack food ever! What's not to love? These puffy little morsels of hydrogenated soybean and corn meal can satisfy the more vicious of cravings - after all, there's a micro-explosion of faux cheddar cheese in every bit - so they say!
I like Cheese Puffs b/c they remind me that we're not to have a puffed-up faith that's all volume w/ little to no substance, but rather, we're to have the kind of faith that works - that's authentic/not artificial.
Truth is - it's easy to live a religious life that appears to be more than what we are - pretending to be a friend of Jesus when we're barely an acquaintance. It's easy to claim Jesus w/ our words but deny Him by our actions - to talk the talk but not walk the walk!
So, to have a Cheese Puff Faith is to have a faith that's all volume w/ little/no substance. CPCs are people so puffed up w/ religious air, their only real contribution is they take up space in the church bowl. They may claim to have faith, yet if you were to crush them, you'd be fortunate to get a teaspoon of substance.
