Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary. ~ Francis of Assisi (1181 - 1226)

Several years ago I read a commentary on the book of James. The author wrote that we all have three tongues - one in our mouth and two in our shoes. The tongues in our shoes speak much more loudly about who we are and what we value than the one in our mouths. Abel’s grandfather was one who spoke through his shoes. This fits totally with the question, “When the world looks at us do they see Jesus?” We may be the only Jesus people may see. What kind of Jesus do they see?

“Attraction rather than promotion…” We can talk all day with flowery words, and amazing stories. We can use our words to inspire and charge people up for Jesus. Truth is, the better we talk, the more HARM we do if we turn around and don’t act like Jesus… “There’s another Christian for ya… All talk and no game.” We must walk step in step with God, to truly change the hearts of those hurt around us. We must follow up our words with examples. I can remember many times I’d hear someone have some amazing things to say, but then once again they were quick to anger or tells rumors etc. Confirming what I thought to be true about Christianity being hypocrisy. It wasn’t until treatment, and a string of weeks and months of morning meditation with the Word, just God and I, that I learned the truth. Please, walk the walk before trying to talk the talk, Amen 🙏🏻

My grandfather was one of the godliest men I've ever known. He was a veteran, a volunteer fire chief, a deacon, a handyman who often worked for free when folks were struggling, built Habitat houses, never cussed drank or smoked, and attended two different churches every Sunday. Never once did he sit me down to talk about Jesus. The man just DID the things he was called to do and I observed. Actions speak louder than words.

“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. ~ John 4: 34-35

A pledge to follow Christ means you have signed up to be a disciple (student). Christ teaches us to follow Him so others can see a clear pathway toward Him.

Want to draw more guys like yourself to God? All you need to do is live your faith for the world to see - every day.

If you do your work of representing Jesus Christ today - God's spirit will draw others to Him. Then you can share what God has done for your life as a witness to His grace.
