预备：
1964年尼泊尔雇佣兵，又称廓尔喀兵被问到他们是否愿意从飞机上跳下来，加入到抵抗印度尼西亚的战斗当中。尽管不知道所领受的命令到底是什么，廓尔喀兵却同意从飞机上跳下来。他们让飞机在一片沼泽地之上不到100尺的高度慢速飞行。当被告知在这样的高度降落伞没有办法打开的时候，廓尔喀兵回答：“没有人告诉我们要戴降落伞呀。”真令人难以想象，他们竟然愿意不戴降落伞的情况下就就往下跳。他们愿意付出代价并满有激情地去做。
在我们生活的世界，大家说的太多。我们在体育界经常听到废话连篇。你是一个“说给我听”的球员，还是一个“做给我看”的球员？通常情况下，如果一个球员必须得高谈阔论他们的比赛，那么通常他只是纸上谈兵。做给我看的球员是可靠的，他们妥善管理事物，刻苦训练，而且满有责任。
当我在分享这个想法的时候，我总是听到神说，“不要告诉我你爱我，直接做给我看！”我问自己是否真的在生活的每个方面都为神而活？我的行动是否表明我真的爱耶稣和爱他人？
神让我们真正加入比赛。祂不想让我们做观众或站在边线上。祂不想让我们仅仅谈论我们要做的事。祂想让我们去做。今天我们就行动吧！只要去做，完全投入。

你们要彼此相爱，像我爱你们一样，这就是我的命令。 (约翰福音 15:12 新译本)

凡不行义的，就不是出于 神，不爱弟兄的，也是这样。 (约翰一书 3:10 后 新译本)

加时：
主啊，感谢你，因为你不是只说不做，你是做给我看的人。请帮助我每天更像你。当我未能行出你的话语时，也求主赦免。
阿们
Don’t Tell Me, Show Me
READY
Little children, we must not love in word or speech, but in deed and truth.–1 John 3:18
SET
In 1964, Nepalese fighters known as Gurkhas were asked if they would jump from airplanes into combat against the Indonesians. Although the Gurkhas did not completely understand what they were being asked, they agreed to jump from the airplanes into battle. They asked that the planes fly slowly over a swampy area, no higher than 100 feet. When told their parachutes would not have time to open at that height, the Gurkhas replied, “You didn’t mention we would have parachutes.” Incredibly, they were willing to jump without parachutes! They were willing to pay the price and do it with passion.
We live in a world with a lot of “talk.” We hear much about “trash talking” in sports. Are you a “tell me” player, or a “show me” player? Usually if a player has to talk about their game, they don’t have a game. “Show me” players are dependable; they take care of business, work hard, and are responsible.
When I share this thought, I often hear God saying, “Don’t tell me you love me, show me!” I ask myself if I am really living for God in every aspect of my life. Do my actions show that I love Jesus and others?
God wants us to get in the game. He does not want us to be spectators or stand on the sidelines. He doesn’t want us to talk about what we will do. He wants us to do it. So, today, go for it! Make the commitment! Just do it!
GO
1. What do you need to change to be a “show me” person?
2. Is Jesus your number one priority?
3. Do your actions show that you love Jesus and others?

OVERTIME
Lord, thank You that You were a “show me” person and not just all talk. Help me to be more like You each day. Forgive me when I fail to be a doer of Your Word. Amen.
