We don't persuade our neighbors by mimicking their angry power-protests. We persuade them by holding fast to the gospel, by explaining our increasingly odd view of marriage, and by serving the world and our neighbors around us, as our Lord does, with a towel and a foot-bucket.

About This Quote

This is a quote from "A Time To Speak", a book by Rick Warren. This book explains how Jesus changed my life. When Jesus walked the earth, he emptied out the pockets of his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist and carried water with him. Jesus was not just a man of peace, but also a servant.

Jesus gave it all away to those in need and those that were sick. He didn't have anything for himself, yet he walked with us and showed us how to live differently. Every day we can follow in Jesus footsteps by giving what we have away.

The more we give, the more we will be blessed by God, and this will make us happier as well.
