A Lived Witness

Our readings in this series are from the book, The King’s Heart: The Kingdom of God and Civil Government. Here is an excerpt from page 101:

“Seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness is always the first order of business every day, for every follower of Jesus Christ, in every relationship, role, or responsibility. This does not mean that we all must be preachers, or that every conversation must somehow be turned into an opportunity for bearing witness to Jesus Christ. Jesus commanded us first to ‘be’ His witnesses, which we will do if we pursue excellence without complaining or compromise in everything we are tasked to do, in whatever our role or position might be. Moreover, if we work hard to make our conversations with others edifying, gracious, and characterized by civility and respect, we will soon enough find that opportunities for talking about the Lord Who has called us to this way of life will begin to arise.”
