Quotes to ponder regarding how we preach:

“Order the parson to be silent on Sundays. What is there left? The essential thing remains: their lives, the daily life with which the parsons preach. Would you, then, get the impression by watching them, that it was Christianity that they were preaching?”
– Soren Kierkegaard, The Journals

“Proclaim the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary.”
– Attributed to Francis of Assisi

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
– Jesus, John 13:34-35

“[…] Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”
– Jesus, Matthew 5:16

May we be a people who preach the Gospel with our actions, choices, lifestyles, decisions… and words.
