Without words?

Dear Friends,
The evangelist William Wade is quite right
that
the gospel needs articulating with
words. However, it is most curious that in
the letters to the churches Christians (apart
from the leaders and evangelists) are hardly
ever exhorted to speak the good news but are
constantly being advised on how to live! OK,
there are a just few such references but what
a surprising dearth compared to the number
of times we are encouraged to get the walk
right, both personally within
the church
family and in relation to outsiders, and to do
good. When we are encouraged to speak it is
usually in prayer.
