Lip Service

• Lip Service – is a teaching about us coming to God in truth and walking in the vows we make to God. Not giving God lip service but putting into practices what we receive from God.  It teaches us about being more devoted to the Lord, so we serve God in faith, truth, and love. Sometimes we do not realize that what we are giving back to God and what we share with others is just lip service. While it may sound good, it may be from God’s Word, but what we are speaking is not in us, nor is it what we do. This was an important part of Christ Jesus teaching to his disciples; we must be a person who not only speak of God’s Word; we must put into practice what we have received, it must be in us. We know someone is giving us lip service when what they share has not changed them, nor are they the kind of person they teach others to be. If we don’t want to give lip service to God and others, we have to allow God’s Word to be who we are, it must come out of us, it must be who we are. Not just words, but backed up through our actions, our deeds, our faith, our love, and holding to God’s Truth.
