Actions Reflect True Beliefs

This past year I purchased some domain names. Most of them are still parked. But one of those has come to mind repeatedly of late. I have been trying to formulate a plan for KnowWhyYouBelieve.com. This morning I received some reinforcement to implement this site from my Bible reading. I only read a short passage this morning, but it was packed with meaning for me. The passage was Luke 6:46-49. Jesus is emphasizing the importance of not only hearing His words, but also putting them into practice. “He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock.” This relates well with my initial reason for purchasing the domain name. Know and believe are both words that are packed with meaning. Those will be fully articulated once the site is up. For for now, suffice it to say that I am troubled by the fact that so many people haven’t seriously examined their own belief system regarding their eternity. I work with people who pride themselves on being informed on the “important issues” of our day, yet they don’t take that same approach to eternal issues. Beliefs need to be examined to determine whether they are trust worthy. Do they have a foundation that will hold you up during tough times (and good times for that matter)? And do your actions prove that you truly believe what you say you believe? Jesus is saying that the wise among us will be actively living out our faith and that our deeds will reflect our beliefs. And this should be a good thing as we, more and more, reflect the heart of God.
