Character
Example is not the main thing in influencing others . . . it is the only thing. (Albert Schweitzer, 20th-century German theologian and physician)
That’s a rather strong statement, isn’t it? And yet, we probably all recognize that watching another person’s conduct offers better evidence of his true character than what he may say. Because what one does reveals more clearly who he or she really is as a person. So, we must all be sure our own conduct and expression match. Say what is right and do it, too.
Set an example … in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity (1 Timothy 4:12).
