Actions Speak Louder Than Words


Last Sunday and elderly widow with dementia appeared flustered when she came in late to church. After she settled into her seating area a husband and wife who had been seated behind her left their seats and went to sit on either side of her. The wife put an arm around the widow and gave her a hug and the husband patted her shoulder. As I waited for the sermon to begin, I couldn’t help but think that the actions of all three of these believers spoke volumes and their actions were a sermon unto themselves. John said, “Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth” (1 John 3:18 NIV).
