Walking the Walk

One issue that I've often had with religion, is that I feel that people and churches often "talk the talk," but often don't "walk the walk."

My very best friend growing up was a very religious Christian her entire life, as was her entire family.  I recall seeing her and her mom once as adult and her mom was asking me what church I belong to in Chicago.Upon stating that I don't belong to a church in Chicago her mother expressed disapproval and Laura said something along the lines of "mom, don't judge, Jesus wouldn't judge her" and I just remember thinking that is so very true and I wish more people would "walk the walk" of their religion and beliefs.

Anyway, this was all top of mind for me after reading this article:  This church has held non-stop services for a month to save a refugee family from deportation.  I just love what this church is doing and seeing the church "walk the walk."
