Becoming Known
There are two types of Christians - those known for what they do and those for what they say. Often the doers have little to say about the meaning and motivation for their actions, while those with the loudest voice are hypocrites. There is something internally self balancing when word and deed are held together with integrity. Words should lead to action and action should be accompanied by proclamation. Paul commends the Thessalonians for their example of the Christian faith, actions that have become well known throughout the region giving the church and God a good name. Shouldn't we strive for this too?
