"They Say, and Do Not"

By T. E. Bowen

HEAVEN counts a wide difference between saying and doing. If full valuation were placed upon the sayings of men, no doubt nearly the whole world would be saved. The difference between a Pharisee and a saint has ever been that one says and does not, while the other may say little, but does. "Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father who is in heaven." "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. . . . They say, and do not." It is not the sayers who are justified before God, but the doers.
