Quote for today

"Preach the gospel everywhere you go. When necessary, use words."-St.Augustine

One way to preach the gospel without using words is by the way we dress. 1 Tim. 2:9 says:

".....in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing...."

It IS possible to dress fashionably and modestly despite unpopular belief! If you have a shirt that is too short or neckline is too deep, wear a longer t-shirt or under shirt under it. Wear jeans that aren't so extremely tight that they looked like they are painted on. Wear leggings or tights under skirts so if you happen to come across a Windy day or a high step, you don't reveal anything shocking (especially if your legs are as pale as mine! *gasp!*)

It is important to know how to preach the gospel without words. Try and think of other ways that you could preach the gospel without using words today. Even if it is using reusable grocery bags every time you go to the store. We are also called to be good stewards of the earth! (which is a whole 'nother topic in itself!)
