"Preach the gospel at all times,and use words when needed."

"Preach the gospel at all times,and use words when needed."-St.Francis of Assisi

St.Francis of Assisi in this statement,

 "Preach the gospel at all times,and use words when needed."

St.Francis says something which blows the minds of modern Christians.

By this notion he states that,the gospel of Jesus Christ is not 

 preached by words only but by actions.To live in love,

and to live in the love of truth is to preach the gospel ,

wherever you go it will be preached by your actions.

And to live in love is to live as Christ commanded,

to live as he lived.

                              Well thought out sermons and

 speeches do not witness to a loving and compassionate God.

But only witness to a group of self righteous individuals,

thinking themselves better than another for living a certain way.

And through that evil witness,you push the lost away from the love

of Jesus Christ,and the salvation he offers.No wounder non believers

cal us ignorant tyrants who suppress learning and truth,because some 

who claim Christ do!Do not get angry at a non believer for acting as they are,

a non believer,but learn from them and act as you are;someone with faults who 

needs to fix them.

                                     You Christian are called to preach everywhere,

by your actions and testimony.So live in such a way that when others see you,

they cannot but help to notice your difference.Be love to the loveless,they will 

see your heart.Do not get into debates and arguments over doctrines and theology,

display the love of Christ and his Church and all will follow.Do what others do not 

expect to see,live out your testimony.
