"Talk is cheap", I clearly remember my uncle telling me. I was in my early teens and didn't quite understand the significance of his statement. I reflect on this thought regularly and attempt to weigh what I say against it. In this crazy world, action is the remedy.

Talking creates noise
Noise creates chaos
Chaos creates fear

The only remedy is action. Every that you complain you indite yourself.

I want to touch on two issues that prevent action.

(1. You are surprised

Good people, those that don't make a habit of lying, cheating, stealing, hurting others are surprised or shocked by the behavior of those that do. When the "Golden Rule" is the standard for your life, it is difficult to understand and deal with those that don't abide by what you feel are the rules of the game. This often leaves those that behave badly in power or in positions of influence. Some of these people are intentional of their "bending" of the rules and enjoy not being hampered by the rules, while others less intentional but the results are often the same. Good people asking why?, rather than asking the correct questions which is How do we fix this?

(2. You are comfortable

Comfort keeps good people from taking risks and assuming responsibilities. Just as comfort and distractions kept David away from leading his men in battle, and ultimately led to an affair and a murder. We created to be mission minded and serve a purpose greater than ourselves. Caught up in comfort and distractions we lose sight of what is worth fighting for. Is comfort and diversion greater than your family, church, or community? The "Proof is in the Putting" as they say, take a look around you. What you value, is what you serve. What do your actions say?

No one is coming to save you, if there is chaos, or issues in your life. Take a stand and lead. You are who you are and where you are for a reason, to serve a purpose greater than you. Find it and jump in. I am asking you to join the fight, in your church, school board, city council, go where the fight is and shine light in the darkness and lead.

The remedy is action, your action.
