"Quote" of the Week

"Jesus says we give light by our 'good deeds.' It seems that 'good deeds' is a general expression to cover everything Christians say and do because they are Christians, every outward and visible manifestation of their Christian faith. They express not only our loyalty to God, but our care for others as well. Indeed, the primary meaning of 'deeds' must be practical, visible acts of compassion. It is when people see these, Jesus said, that they will glorify God, for they embody the good news of his love which we proclaim. Without them our gospel loses its credibility and our God his honor." -John Stott
