Let Your Life Preach the Gospel
“For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.”
— 1 Corinthians 1:17
Some of the most powerful voices for Christ in modern history were not known for their many words, but for the Spirit behind them. Billy Graham and Pope John Paul II rarely used elaborate language, yet their lives proclaimed the Gospel with unmistakable clarity.
St. Francis of Assisi captured this truth best:
“Preach the Gospel at all times. When necessary; use words.”
The true Gospel isn’t found in eloquence—it’s found in the power of the Cross. When we live surrendered to Christ, His Spirit speaks through us. Our actions, our love, and our courage become sermons the world can’t ignore.
You don’t need a pulpit to preach. Your kindness, your perseverance, your humility—these are your Gospel message.
A Simple Morning Prayer
Lord, help me to speak less and live more by the Spirit. Let Your power shine through my words and my actions. Remind me that it’s not eloquence that saves, but the Cross of Christ. Amen.

If I wait for the perfect time and perfect words to share my faith then I will miss opportunities to make a difference and to plant a seed. He will choose the perfect time and the words. I get to trust in his plan.
