I would like to get your thoughts on a simple line of words. 
Here't goes...
St. Francis of Assisi is credited with saying "Preach the Gospel and if necessary, use words." This is not true. He didn't say this but so many people know it and ascribe him as the author. Well, the Bible says it is absolutely necessary to share the Gospel by using words. More specifically, share the Gospel from God's wo

rd. There's general revelation, e.g. creation points to the Creator. There's special revelation, i.e. the Word of God. Without words, it's just general revelation, which is not specifically the Gospel. People all over the world recognize the general but never hear the specific. It’s been said; Oh the grace of God that I've heard the Gospel so many times when others have never heard it once! We must share the Gospel with words!
Here's my version:
Preach the Gospel from God's word, and when necessary, preach it to yourself!

What are your thoughts?
