Discover why saying "call me if you need anything" whilst being perpetually unavailable makes you part of the problem, not the solution.

Paul's commendation of the Thessalonians in 1 Thessalonians 1:3 specifically highlights "loving deeds" – not feelings or words, but concrete actions. This devotional exposes our tendency to substitute sentiment for service, revealing how genuine encounters with Christ inevitably overflow into practical care for others. Learn why love without action is as dead as faith without works.

Whether you're full of good intentions but short on follow-through, or tired of empty religious promises, discover what separates authentic Christianity from comfortable churchianity. Understand how the early church's love had hands and feet – literally selling possessions, opening homes, and sharing meals.

Scripture Reference: 1 Thessalonians 1:3
