All talk and NO action = a complete waste of time

Hello my brothers and sisters! We meet again! :)

This topic is quite simple, so i will keep it short.

Imagine this. Yesterday, you taught your little brother not to lie to your mother. Today, you lied to your mother in front of your brother. When your brother says, "You also lie! What rights do you have to tell me not to lie?!" How would you react? Speechless right?

Luke 6:46-49
v46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
v47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.
v48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
v49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."

Conclusion: It just says, if you do not do what you teach others, when other catch you doing the same thing they did, you will be ashamed. So whatever you learn from God, PUT IT INTO USE! DO NOT JUST LISTEN AND FORGET!

Explanation to the verse: Your actions is like the foundation. If you do what you teach, it will be building a house on a strong foundation. If you do not do what you teach, it will be building a house with NO foundation. The flood is criticism from people. If you do what you say, they cannot say you are a fault. But if you do not do what you say, one sentence they say and you will be 'destroyed'.
