There are times where we might see others christians paster preaching about being holy praying to God etc.... But One thing that makes me mad and sad a lot of times they speak words but do not show it in actions. Not all people do this but sadly some.
I think as christians OUr WORDS The only WORTH they have is if we put our words into our actions.
Its better for people to see Jesus in actions because it show people well he not just a blah blah guy and this one is different he really follows what he believes and teach.
One great saint once said I think he was italin. When preaching the gospel only use words if needed.
I love that quote. The next time you preach or say anything remember is it in a christ like manner?
Sometimes we forget about this. People watch what we do not what we say.
I had a coworker that had a mild heart attack. I felt led to take him out for walks on lunch hours down be the lake. His dactor asked what he was doing different to which he answered that he and I were walking on our lunch hours. He told him to keep it up.
One day Gary caught me off guard when he asked to come to the church where I preached. I was floored because I never talked about God to him that I know of. He went on to say that because of me he was going to church and teaching Sunday School.
I'm not a licensed preacher and I didn't at that time even go to church but I was floored. Sometimes we can reach people simply by being a freind to them...When they see God in you it leads them to find what it is you have.
Now I'm in outreach for the Men's Ministry...ministering to those things that relate to men because as the men go so goes the church and the families of those men.
To God in Jesus goes the glory and remember....people are watching you so if you believe in Jesus then live like Jesus you never know who may be saved.

perfect example of of somone leading somone to christ by actions
We confess with our mouths that we are Christian and when we step out of that church the world finds us unbelievable...
Most people don't care what you know until they know that you care.
what is it
words aint worth nuffin if you dont deliver the goods, right
its easy to make a promise the hard part is making good on it, cos it involves sacrifice and change in some measure whether large or small
and i dont know what its like in the states, but one of the terms i hear the most in churcheshere in the U.K, is to do with trust an it goes like this
" there are only two people i trust an that is me and God " ive said it myself many times
and personally i beleve the greatest cause of this dis-trust / dis-belief between the world and the church AND BETWEEN BELIEVERS is due to a lack of integrity among believers . and also due to an in-consistent personal walk
but then people try to exuse themselves and others by saying that it is human nature and you have to forgive them yes we have to forgive, but using " human nature" as a defence dousnt really cut-it cos, we is supposed to be deveoping a christ-like nature and if the church really wants to make a difference then christian would start being reliable start being consistent and then maybe our work-mates and familys will see that we are different and will listen to what we is preaching

RE:
I'm sure you've done it yourself a few times too. No man is perfect but
everyone can give good advice.
Better to speak wright and do wrong than speak wrong and do even worse.
