1 Corinthians 13:1
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
There is just something about the way the Message Bible puts today’s verse that cracks me up!
1 Corinthians 13:1
“If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.”
There are lots of phrases we use for people who speak without love. Such as being full of hot air. However, I am not so sure I can look at a politician and not hear a creaking gate from now on . . . LOL! Sorry, I had to go there.
Point if all of this is simple. It does not matter how well you speak. It doesn’t matter if you know the exact words at the exact time. If you don’t mean what you say it is useless. I am going to throw one more saying in here to drive it all home. You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk.? If you can’t your words are nothing more than the creaking noise of a rusty gate. So, are you ready to get off your Sunday pew and stop talking about Jesus and start living like Him?
Lord, I want to walk with You, not just Talk about You.
