If you were among a group of people, and you asked one if he owned a car, and he said, "Yes, but I don't use it," wouldn't you kind of wonder why? If you talked to a farmer and he had much potato seed, but would not plant any, would that seem a bit odd?
I used to be a retail milkman. I delivered milk to houses. Yes, I had a list of customers that I served daily, but about each day one or two would move or for some reason quit. That means, unless I would get new ones to replace, I eventually would go out business. I decided if I got some extra customers it would mean a raise in my pay check. Often, I have sorta wished everyone could have the experience of being a milkman.
Many a time I have met individuals with an unusual smile. I would tell them, "Boy, with that smile, you can go places." When I think of it, unless he uses it, he will stand still (get him no where).
So it is with our faith in God, we must use it (tell others). The Bible has something to say about being luke warm, not putting your faith in action. Rev. 3:16 reads: "Because you are lukewarm, neither hot or cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth." That should frighten us a bit. What does it take to stir you up a bit to put some seed in ground? No seed put in the ground means no crop.
I read: "Faith without works cannot be called faith." James 2:26 states that: "For, as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead." Faith must inspire action. Is your faith alive or dead? I am reminded of a song, "Work for the night is coming."
