Show Your Faith

Preach the Gospel at all times, and, when necessary, use words.
St. Francis of Assiss

Wow. That's quite a statement. Maybe we should practice what it says.
We're all so quick to tell others about our faith. We go to church. We give when we feel we can (not what the Bible says, by the way!). We pat ourselves on the back even as we cut someone off in traffic. As we criticize a cashier for not working fast enough. As we yell at our kids. As we feud with the neighbors. I could go on and on.

Living a Christian life isn't about standing on the corner and proclaiming our faith. It is about going through life living that faith as we interact with others. Let people know we are Christians not by what we say so much as how we act. Let peace and the light of Jesus guide us so that others know we are Christians without our having to say a word.
