This is another awesome message by Randy Alcorn for such a time as this…..Randy is one of my favorite people! Glory!

I have to share with you this quote that Dr. Jim Denison shared with us this morning: Mother Teresa observed: “When you know how much God is in love with you, then you can only live your life radiating that love.”

A friend asked me,

This was in my Bible study: “‘Christianity’ is more easily perceived by what you do than what you believe.” It really made me think. What are your thoughts on this statement? I’ve been studying Paul’s life, and was reading in Acts 23-24. It was diving deeper into “The Way” that is used in chapter 24 to describe Christianity.

That’s a great question. I said decades ago in one of my first books (back in the 80s!) that while our children will sometimes fail to do what we say, they will seldom fail to do what we do. That’s the power of example, both good and bad.

 

On the one hand, what God says is true, whether or not we live consistently with it. An ungodly person, even an unbeliever, can share the gospel message, and someone can be genuinely saved by believing it even if the person who spoke it was living in disobedience. More Here
