Talking vs. Doing: 1 Cor 4

In 1 Corinthians 4, the Apostle Paul lays out for the church at Corinth many things, not the least of which is a guideline for behavior, and the admonition for the Corinthians to be "imitators" of him. At the end of chapter 4, verse 20, Paul states, "For the kingdom of God is not demonstrated in idle talk, but in power." Interesting, right? It's easy to talk a good game, to say the right things, but are we doing anything? Are we demonstrating the Kingdom, or just passively sitting by? Question to consider: If you imitate the Apostle Paul, how could you be idle? Paul was the model of power in service. So, are you imitating him?
