Actions vs. Words

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

This past Sunday night we explored this quotation and how our actions often speak louder than our words.  Do people know you are a Christian just by the way you act?  How can you communicate your love for Christ to others through your actions?  Why is it important for our actions to match what we say?  What type of impact could you have (negative or positive) on someone who doesn't know the love of God with the way you act?

These are all important questions to think about as we realize that it is not just what we say that matters to God and has an impact on others around us, it's how we act as well!  God calls us to live in ways that care for and share God's love with all of God's creation...this should be evident in both what we say and what we do!  I challenge you to think of someone in your life who you can better share God's love with this week through your actions!
