John admonishes us, "Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth." In the biblical scheme of things, love is something we do, not just something we feel. Mercy is something we extend, not just something we intend. Hope is something we must act on, not just something we harbor. Our orthodoxy must be matched by orthopraxy. Our life together must be marked by both Word and deed.
