The things you do carry much more weight than the things you say.
St. Francis of Assisi put it best when he said, “Preach the gospel at all times. Used words when necessary.”
What are the implications of that?
Did you know you can be preach without talking?
There’s nothing more evangelistic than a life that is obviously sold out to Jesus. All the teaching and preaching in the world won’t outweigh the actions of the faithful.
I’ve been preached to so many times by the generosity of people, the humility of people, the faithfulness of people, and the ways I’ve witnessed Jesus in people.
1Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. – Matthew 23:1-3 (NIV)
Do you want people to think that about you?
Or do you want people saying “Do what they do!”?
This isn’t just for preachers, folks. This is really for anyone who speaks with an intent to influence anyone else. This is for parents. This is for teachers. This is for anyone who’s trying to convince anyone of anything.
Here’s a quick challenge to you and me today: Live a life worth modeling.
People often say, “never underestimate the effect your words can have on someone.”
How about this, though… Never underestimate the effect your actions can have on your words.
A constant is a good thing. I mean, so often in life there are times when we wish things would just remain steady for a while – am I right? 
Yesterday, I was having lunch with a couple of friends/coworkers. I got up to go grab some dessert, and realized that my friend Scott was sitting at the table next to me, and had been for nearly the entire time I’d been sitting there. However, my focus was aimed so much at the people at my table, I didn’t notice him at all.
A few random things running through my head this morning as we approach the weekend…
