Louder Than Words
1Corinthians 2:4
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power.
As ministers, each of us has the opportunity to introduce people to the Gospel, regardless of the nature of our work. Granted, many work environments are not conducive to gathering our co-workers for a good old come to Jesus meeting.
On the other hand, there is more than one way to introduce the Gospel message. Many credit St. Francis of Assisi with these words:
Preach the gospel at all times. Use words if necessary.
The more modern phrase actions speak louder than words applies as well. We don't realize it, but people are watching us. They're checking out how we react to the conditions around us. They measure our responses. They know we are people of faith and wonder what difference following Jesus Christ makes, if any.
Let's show them what we are made of!
