Our Calling: Be the Good News

One of the fundamental rules of storytelling is “Show, don’t tell.” The same rule works well for followers of Jesus. Unless we show people the good news, it won’t ring true. And the best way to show it is to live it.

“Some will say, ‘You have faith and I have deeds.’ Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.”

~James 2:18

    One of my all-time favorite quotes. I always wanted to be one of the “little brothers of St. Francis” – just a bunch of ragamuffins…

  11. Well spoken;

    “the best way to show it is to live it”.

    Yes, indeed. I don’t know when you post because it always comes to me Monday morning, but nothing could be more perfect for Monday morning (especially for someone who writes a lot of words!).

    Jim and I are trying to do this more and more here in our community. There are so many things “we cannot change” but we can make a difference here. Thank you, Mitch.
