Verse:
If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. —James 1:26–27
Thought:
There is an expression used to reflect a person’s commitment to their principles. It speaks of their ability to “talk the talk” and “walk the walk”. This idea is not new. In these verses James writes of the importance of one’s “talk” and “walk” in reflecting the true measure of their faith. Our relationship with Christ should be seen clearly through our speech and our actions.
