Good teaching Tony. It's so true we are not to assume people are going to see Jesus in us. I worked for the public school district for five years, and I've never worked with more winsome unbelieving people who love children just as much if not more than I do. We need to speak up. Thank you for the nudging.
@MustardSeedish However according to 1 Peter 3:15 we are suppose to live our lives in such a way that the world asks, "Why? 1 Peter 2:12 and Matthew 5:16 suggest the same idea. So while we must declare the Gospel with our mouths we must also be ever vigilant to demonstrate it with our lives. It's not an "either or" type of proposition, it is "both and." At the end of the day we want people to know that we have been with Jesus (Acts 4:13).
The worry here is hypocrisy.
