Quotes about Faith In Action

Where it exists, it cannot be hidden. Where it cannot be seen, you can be sure there is none.

If they could not understand the words about Jesus then we Christians should show them what He was like by the way we lived. I remembered He had said, 'If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.' So this was the beginning of what I called 'walking the extra mile'.

Those in need that I met seemed to need a marathon.
