"We are Christ's ambassadors"
...and therefore his messengers. Too often we think that the message we preach reflects our faith. However, on a much deeper level it is the message of our everyday words and actions that are influential. We are the letter from God that people read. We become unreliable messengers when we speak crudely, gossip about a neighbor, or act dishonestly.
Our words and actions reflect God, who lives inside us, to people who never open a Bible or enter a church. Never forget that you are an ambassador for Christ and a messenger of hope. Ask his Spirit to empower you to deliver the Good News with your life and words.
An unreliable messenger stumbles into trouble, but a reliable messenger brings healing.
Proverbs 13:17
A credible message needs a credible messenger because charisma without character is catastrophe.
