What does it mean for our council ? Doing is in ...........  Lead by example

------------------------------------------------------ Talking is not doing -Lead by example ----------------------------------------------

So many Christians say that we are concerned about winning the lost to the Savior but, in reality, how many of us do anything about it? I agree with the Buddhist monk who said, "To know and not to do is not yet to know." To translate this into our Christian terminology it could be stated this way: "To believe and not to act is not yet to believe because I only truly believe that which motivates me to action."

According to Mickey Anders, "Someone suggested that we imagine this fishing club where the members merely sit around swapping fish stories about the big one they landed, the whopper that broke away, but they never stepped into a boat or cast their line in the water. What kind of a fishing club would it be whose members were content to admire the trophies on the wall, but never go out and actually go fishing?
"A lot of churches are like that. They sit around bragging about the days when their boat was full of fresh fish. They look nostalgically to the days when the main purpose of their church was to go fishing, to reach others for Christ. But they never actually go fishing; they merely talk about going fishing. That's not what we're supposed to be about as a church."2
