One of the many things I so love is hearing stories of encouragement - like that of Bethany Hamilton, Susana Wesley, the singaporean taxi driver, and a whole lot more.
And again, I just wanna share err post another story of man whose commitment is to honor God.
Read on.
"The british press called Eric Liddell a traitor to scottish sporting. After all, Liddell was favored to win the first olympic medal in track and field that scotland has ever been in contention for. But the qualifying heat for the 100 meter race in the 1924 olympic games was scheduled to take place on a sunday. Liddell believed that sunday was a day to give God glory, not to earn it for yourself. So as that shot from the starting pistol rang out sunday morning, Liddell was not at the track. Instead, he was preaching in a church nearby.
But Liddell's most powerful sermon wasn't the one he gave from the pulpit. It was the one he lived out day by day. though the "flying scotsman" went on to win an unexpected gold as he set a new world record in the 400-meter race, as well as placing third in the 200-meter, it wasn't only his speed that won Liddell notoriety. It was his commitment to honor God. "
Not everyone reads the Bible. But if we believe in God, people are constantly reading us.
I also believe that whatever our true convictions are will be evident in the way we live our lives.
It is so true that our life will tell a different "Bible story" than anyone else's. Whatever we do, the convictions we hold will preach a more convincing sermon than anything we'll ever say.
"Preach the gospel at all times. If necessary, use words."
- St. Francis of Assisi
