"It is better to live a holy life than to talk about it. Lighthouses do not ring bells and fire cannons to call attention to their shining; they just shine." - Dwight L. Moody
Moody, the great 19th century evangelist, nails it. What is important is not what we say. That counts for little.
What is supremely critical, however, is how we live. The sermon most people will see is how we live. Most of the time our lifestyle says far more about our faithfulness to the Gospel than anything we might say about our beliefs.
Love. Live in love, and let that love shine out into the darkness. The light of that love will bring more into a safe harbor than any noise we will ever make.
