"Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." -- 1 John 3:18

Who was the first person to conceive of the notion that "actions speak louder than words"?  We know that it's been around for thousands of years now, but I continue to be baffled how as a species, we humans have great difficulty learning from the generations that have come before.  We live as though we were the first and the last, and we're definitely not the former, and probably not the latter.  We do quite well building upon technological advancements, but why are we so slow to grow on the moral side of it?  We're still babies it seems.  Remember, they will know we are Christians by our love.

Readings:  Daniel 11:2-35; 1 John 3:7-24; Psalm 122:1-9; Proverbs 29:1
