Our lives preach a lesson every day.  Where we go, our associates, our speech, our dress, our reading material, how we treat others, the music we listen too, what we approve, what we don’t approve, if we pray before our meals, if we are polite, kind, generous, giving, loving, joyful, helpful, etc.  Our lives are an autograph and our deeds should match up to our speech.  We are either a “light” or we are not.  Put another way.  If we are going to talk the talk, we better walk the walk.  People of the world watch Christians closely and more closely than we believe.

“Ye are the light of the world, A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and giveth light unto all that are in the house.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”    Matthew 5:13-16

“Influence is one of the most powerful, far-reaching forces in all the world.  Sometimes it is so subtle people hardly know they are being affected.  All of us have at least some influence, good or bad.  Having this far-reaching power, it behooves us to exercise the wholesome influence.  In this manner, little by little, we make the world better.  ”

The sermons we live have more impact than the ones we preach.  In leaving our footprints on the sands of time, we can either leave the marks of a heel that will make us a heel or the marks of a sole that will save a soul.”       ~ Leroy Brownlow

“You are writing a Gospel,
A chapter each day,
By deeds that you do,
By words that you say.
Men read what you write,
Whether faithless or true;
Say, what is the Gospel
According to you?”        ~ Paul Gilbert
